Brilliant Minds,Wasted?

[LONGERDICK7+]

How many time have we seen or met people whit apparently amazing talents or minds that are apparently really incredible.

Maybe most of them are not geniuses or maybe some of them are geniuses..They can do things and think in a different way...

But are they really gifted people whit a brilliant mind or are they just posing as smart people....How many times can we

remember when we had this school friend whit really good grades and doing great at maths.And nowadays hes just a shadow of

what he was.Or maybe he finished a career but he is not making a lot of cash and he is really timid and introvert.

The expectations we had about that person didnt happen the way we expected.

What is the reality when all that people basically dissapears or they just turn into ""normal"" or average people,or maybe

when they go the wrong way Drug Abuse, Jail,crime,Alcoholism,self destruction etc etc.Do they really know they have a gift and they make the wrong decisions.

Are they making those decisions deliberately..? There are so many factors for a person to be succesful..But wonder if someone whit a great mind can really waste that and still live happy..?

I know of a few like that myself, I am a little bit like that myself, not exactly a person to be book smart, but you put something in front of me, I will figure it out, had a rough child hood, and if it was not for my current girlfriend of 5 years, I would prob be in jail because I got to a point I didn't give a shit after losing my mother, but My better half kept me sain and was there for me when the rest of the family dumped me, as for drugs, never done them and have no use for them as it is pretty much what killed my mother, as for my father, well that abusive ass hole, he can rot have not spoke to him in almost 4 years, he had me such a wreck from mental and physical abuse that I could not hold down a job and still cant, I have fits of rage and anger, she has managed to get me on meds through getting me in to her Dr, and getting me the much needed help that i needed, while i still have them, I have them no where near like I use to, I also wanna thank the [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MOS[/words] brother hood because they have been a big help even though they don't know it, I started really doing PE February of this year, and it has given me some much needed discipline that I much needed.

Yes, I have seen it happen as well. Too many don't chase a dream out of fear, a perceived risk or setback, or maybe lack of motivation. Then one day you wake up at 50 and realize half your life is gone.
