I'm constantly in situations where someone needs to know but no one tries, so I take it on and level up.
It's the "doer" classification. Certainly not the best person for the job, but no one else is doing it, so gotta try. Over time, a new skill is built.
Patience and persistence are beneficial traits to have. I don't think they're natural, I think they're forced but become natural-like after repeatedly experiencing their inevitably rewarding outcomes.
This is me. My friends think I’m super smart but really I just can’t help myself if someone says they don’t know how to do something I just go and look up how to do it.
Now I have the unfortunate situation that they just don’t even bother with anything and come to me.
It’s the same when they just say things that are not true and I can’t comprehend not having the desire to actually check.
My friend said if I was a mega Man boss I would be "Do-man" because I'm willing to do the leg work to make shit happen including the basic research!
It means that I have a tremendous catalog of useless facts. They keep the unregulated useful facts in line...
