NEVER read my posts with a clear head - it confuses the shit outta me!
I swing between the 'do enough to get by' - and love winning, depending on my monthy cycles. (men have periods to, I read it huff post .lol)
Seriously though - I have won many things, but that's the point. Once I have won...my interest dissipates rapidly.
(Just one of many examples).
20 yrs old -UK sales manger for small company - made them the most profitable , and with the highest turnover, in 45 years of doing business - I then quit to go travelling 6 months after.... (I was 'set up' for life, career wise, if I'd stayed).
Zero interest.
I'm basically really stupid. lololol

Not so stupid, really. You succeeded, but you didn't agree to a life of drudgery. I've always wondered what athletes do, once they've won the Olympics gold medal, or whatever their aspiration was. You reach that "done it" point... and then the thrill of the hunt, game or whatever is gone. Not related, there were a couple of arcade games I played, way back when. I got good enough that I could play the highest level for 15-20 minutes... at which point I walked away and never played that game since.
Maybe things are fun while we are prov-ING a point, but boring once we have prov-ED it.
Losing at 'the game of
monopolymonotony'...Oh bugger.The "game of monotomy!" That's funny.... but true.
