that is totally not true how someone's beginning looks is not always indicative of how their middle or their end will end up just think about olympic races or sports games even then like our career is a lot longer than a 200 meter sprint it's a lot longer than a two-hour ball game like it's for a lot of us, the majority of our lives.
