Be incredible at something, no matter what it is

If all you can draw is stick figures...
Draw the best stick figures ever.

Peanuts embodied the Ike-JFK era, Doonesbury represented Nixon and Carter's America, and Bloom County represented the Reagan era. So. XKCD from #500 to near #1800 will go down in history as the ultimate comic strip of the Obama years.

A time when we were all doing great, the future looked bright and smart was, in fact, sexy.

If you wanna be a rock star and the band at your school needs a bass player...

Then play bass.

Play the fucking shit out of that bass.

You do something incredible. You have to. It may not be computer science or making #1 pop hits, but it's something you do incredibly well.
Learn to be proud of it. Learn to love it. And someday, other people will love it, too.

So. What are you incredible at?
