Reply to comment by StoneSigma in TIL Margaret Knight (1838-1914) invented a machine to mass produce flat-bottomed paper bags and, after winning a lawsuit against a fraudster who copied her design, the patent was issued in 1871. Her first invention was when she was 12 years old (and began working in a factory). She had 87 patents. by WonderWmn212
I assume it’s because you are smart and musically gifted.

Reply to Do you make the background music first or the lyrics of a song? I'm so confused!!! by Energite0
Usually you’ll wrote the lyrics to fit chord changes.
If you can’t do that you might have the wrong key:

If they can fly a drone there, I’m sure they could get an unmanned boat to follow the drone’s signal.
Technically I think it would be possible. I’m not sure of the barriers that prevent it.

Reply to TIL id Software’s first attempt at a first-person shooter game - before Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, or even Catacomb 3-D - was Hovertank 3D, a vehicular combat FPS released for MS-DOS in 1991. by astrodomekid
I'm old. I played it. It wasn't great. It was whatever.
The take away is we always see our idol's successful creations, and we want to do "that."
We rarely think about all of the failed startups that some smart person had to take loss after loss on before they made it big, the 100 songs someone wrote before having a single reach 88 in the top 100, the terrible performances on stage or in movies that an actor suffers before landing a big role, the number of humiliating rejections a girl/guy got before landing that hottie bf/gf, the living in bed bug infested apartments for years while making no income while building a fanbase through touring.
Carmack is a legend. He started out as a average. I just want people to realize that your 1st, 2nd, or 20th idea might not be the one that makes you money. Just keep trying as long as you can stand it and you won't regret it (even if you fail over and over and over and never succeed), very few people regret believing in themselves and chasing their dream.
