Do you suck or kick ass?

[CAT13]

according to me: I suck
according to other cubers: I suck
according to classmates who never saw someone solve a cube in under a year: I kick ass

now, let's change this minute into 20 seconds

cubers don't tell cubers that they suck

"...When I was young, I forgot how to laugh...; when I was older, I opened my eyes and beheld reality, at which I began to laugh, and since then I have not stopped laughing. I saw that the meaning of life was to secure a livelihood, and that its goal was to attain a high position; that love's rich dream was marriage with an heiress; that friendship's blessing was help in financial difficulties; that wisdom was what the majority assumed it to be; that enthusiasm consisted in making a speech; that it was courage to risk the loss of ten dollars; that kindness consisted in saying, "You are welcome," at the dinner table; that piety consisted in going to communion once a year. This I saw, and I laughed."
Like all of Kierkegaard's work, the actual meaning is open to interpretation. The way I see it is that there are all these silly social customs, and looking at them externally it is like a joke. I take the same view of life. I think it is amusing watching people and their "social manners" when you take a negative approach to yourself. Personally, I call it realistic, or "the truth". Yes I truly think I am ugly and so on, no I don't care. (Sorry for going off topic, I just didn't want you to worry about me being suicidal or something).

I like this, when I read it I was remind of my favorite quote, from Horace Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford:
"I have often said, and oftener think, that this world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel – a solution of why Democritus laughed and Heraclitus wept."

Yes, that is brilliant!

I clicked the "I suck" candy-like button.

In my eyes, I look at other cubers and say "I suck at this!"... but to everyone else at work and in my personal life, they think I'm either a puzzle geek (compliment) or pretty awesome, so that is what matters to me most out of this topic.

I don't think I'm the best. My abilities are better than some, and worse than others...but I like to say that I kick ass!

I used to suck, but that was quite a long time ago.
Now I kick ass, but I prefer petting it.

I am a very optimistic person and I don't like it when people are to negative about themselves. Negative people make me want to ..... kick their ass
