Counterpoints to "being bored made me awesome" that spring to mind immediately:
You would be in a different place, and whether it's better or worse is unknowable.
For every person inspired to greatness (or okayness) by boredom, there is someone driven to drug addiction by boredom.
- alexbanks 7y agoYou'll note that I did not say it made me awesome, nor did I suggest anyone else should do it. In fact, I even added the "(mis)fortune)" to point out the obvious negative aspect to my statement. I literally just said those factors got me to where I am today. I did not imply where I am now is better than an alternative.
