How do you tell if you are good at something?

<p>Gary Fredericks stared us off by saying that you are likely good at something if you enjoy it and other people ask you to do it. (I’m not sure. That could just mean they don’t want to do it.)</p> <p> </p> <p>A little further into the conversation Steward Wiggins asked, “who decides what good is?” A valid question certainly.</p> <p> </p> <p>Atif Agha provided a great place to start answering that question: “…it could be cultural influence, it could be influencing with your friends, society and that defines what your moral, ethical or valuable standard is going to be.”</p> <p> </p> <p>But then we got into the meat of the conversation –</p> <ul><li>We talked about how the more you know the more you realize you don’t know.</li> <li>And how sometimes we need someone to tell us we aren’t as good as we think we are.</li> <li>And sometimes we are REALLY good but we aren’t happy with it so we keep pushing.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Those three things are the crux of the question. How do you know you’re good at something if those three things could all possibly be true?</p> <p> </p> <p>What do you think?
