After John McEnroe retired from the game of tennis, he earnestly tried to make it big as a rock musician. He failed, quite spectacularly. I read in his autobiography that he got quite depressed about this, so his wife told him something along the lines of:
"Look John, God gave you the talent to be the greatest tennis player on Earth -- now you want to be the greatest rock musician too? John, it doesn't work like that."
My point is that you can't be great at everything, don't take on too much (I don't these days) -- you are great at many things, rejoice in that.
