Consider, for one improvised second, what would happen if Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, both men of immense talents, achievements and justifying spirits in their own fields of athleticism, were to exchange their fields. They both would fail, undoubtedly. And a miserable failure would be at that.
Although both the games could be considered as requiring high levels of stamina and endurance, and both men could be counted on for having extraordinary levels of stamina and endurance, one’s directing them at his flippers and the other at his piston.
When two athletes could not succeed in different disciplines of athleticism, how can one hope for them to succeed in a field not having any measure of athleticism at all?
You have to know what works for you; not what would look good on you. Every second you spend trying to be someone you aren't, you are missing out on your whole true self.
It's the best way to make a mark on this world.
