I often wish that the threads from my lurking days would be updated by those old souls. Today I get my wish.

I'm glad that you made a decision that didn't involve being a homeless man in Tibet or something.

Grats. If you don't mind, what kind of medical career exactly? Are you going to be a MD?

I think I'm feeling what you felt back then in 2009. There's some good advice in here.

You just graduated from college and are going for Med school at what should be 22 now. You have some self restraint to not lash out against the people who retorted in this thread that you're just not working hard and are just whining.

For me at least the feeling that I want to be great affects everything about me. It makes it so I don't want to play games for fear of being addicted, or seeing my friends for the same reasons. I don't read for pleasure any more because I think I should spend my time learning more important useful things. And yet I still procrastinate everyday on useful tasks. This has been going on for years. If it were as simple as saying "just work hard" then everyone would be making above 100k a year.

Have you accepted that you probably won't be one of the greats?
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I think it's important to realize your way of thinking is not unique to you, most people feel this way at least once in their lives.
