Potential is a French word that means "still not worth a damn".
So what good is potential? Is it really helpful to be told, or worse to know that you have "potential"? It's said that is is a frightful thing to be in the hands of an angry God. I think it's even more scary to look into the face of potential. It's your future staring back at you and wondering, without emotion, do you have the balls to pursue it or not.
No one cares whether you live up to that potential or not. In fact, you will be mocked if you try and fail. Sometimes it feels safer to rest on the fact that you had potential, but never had the time to "cultivate it".
That's why it's so tough. You have two options to loose and one to succeed and the easiest is to not try.
Ask a man a question, he'll give you an answer; Give that man a Blog and he'll spew for the rest of his life.
