How can I be the world's best at something?

Question

I'm 19 years old, and it just hit me that I really want to be the best at something in the world. I want to be recognized for something. I just don't know what that something can be, and I feel like I'm so old. Because as you watch the Olympics, you have 16 year olds winning medals, and I want to be that good at something, and be recognized by the world. Any suggestions on how I can become that good at something before I'm way too old? Is this a stupid idea? And just in case you're wondering, I'm not super good at anything right now. I have been learning Chess for a few years, but I don't know how long I'll take to become the world's best at it...

Thank you so much!!!

Answer 1

Find something nobody has a record for in Guinness Book of World Records and do that.......like person who licked the most wall paper or longest dandelion chain. If no ones has recorded it you can get dibs. Then at least for a year you will be the best in the world.

Answer 2

Find something unique and get good at it.

the first thing that u should know i think is to know your strong points..on what area are you good at?in school?in sports?what are your intersts?..second is you must have a vision,on what u want to be...in determining this things you will be able to know how much will you work on it...and secondly the most important thing is,you love what you do..do whatever that makes you happy...give ur heart and mind into it..focus,discipline...:) and besides there is no age limit on being great..you can be great on the small things that you do..but if u target to be the world's best and u feel old to be thinking that now,well don't think that way...efren bata reyes of the philippines started to be famous in his 50's when he won the world pool champion in billiards..:) you will be great in the right time..but for know,prepare irself to  be great..no need to rush..just enjoy ur life.good luck may u reach ur goals and aspiration.:)
