Not productive in what sense? Knowing your limits let's you focus your energy in other ways and areas

[darkerside]

That's great advice. Especially if you get specific about the other ways and areas one an focus on. But what parent post said was, you'll never be a billionaire or literally Jackie Chan, so don't try. Seems (to me) like a waste of mental energy to even process that.

No I did not say that you shouldn't try, but that doing what they do, don't expect that you will be them. It is cargo culting success
