With things like (marathon) running, hiking, it is easy to meassure Objective progress and qutie hard to moneteize. Well, no. You can do sooo much here. Log your hike, provide coordinates of off-the-beaten-track routes and sites, provide info on trail conditions, run team events, gear reviews, first aid courses... Also, who said I can't be the next Rembrandt? Kandinsky is only one of many proofs that that second sentence of yours is off the mark. I've actually just started work on making piste maps better for snowboarders. Making bank off that would be ace, if not well OK then. Being defeatist because the probability of failure is bigger than success is defeatist, no? |

Is it being defeatist to not buy a lottery ticket? or 10? or 100?
Or can you say that the chances of winning are so remote that you dont want to spend money on buying tickets?
The chances someone who dedicates their entire life, all their academic efforts, all the apprenticeships possible, giving it their all, the chances that person will become the next Rembradt is far less than winning a lottery ticket.
If you pick up a brush for the first time in your 30s, the chances are much lower.
So yes, it is possible. But the probability is near zero.
What I was saying was find a hobby that you can get some enjoyment out of.
If in your 30s: You pick up a paintbrush becasue you know you will be the next Rembradt, or You learn to drive a stick shift knowing you will become the biggest Formula1 Champion ever. or Start reading "An Idiots guide to Basic Physics" knowing you will far exceeed Einstein
Chances are you won't really enjoy it that much.
