You can never do more than you can do but you can do a lot more than what people expect you to do thus your an over achiever. Its not based on what you think you can do its based on what someone else thinks you can do or whats been done before. :yes:

I can do a heck of a lot more than what I'm doing now. I'm just not in the mood.

am i gonna have to roll a joint??? it's been awhile since one of these threads came up. the anarchist and athiest should pop in soon. these things can get kind of lively....
I'm an over achiever, of course people don't expect much from me so it's easy.
:thumbsup: good oneMost of this term is defined by the people you're around....if you do more than every one of them(and sometimes all of them put together), you're an over-achiever. When you do projects with competence and skill/speed that other people shake their head at, walk away from and would never consider, you're an over achiever.
Perception becomes reality in most people's minds, so whatever perception they have of you, that's the truth to them. Same for underachievers.

.I ride the shortbus so every day without a fall or attacking someone because they messes with my headphones is considered overachieving.
You should see the applause I get for succesfully finishing an ice cream cone. Standing ovations sometimes if I remember to open a door before walking through it.
The only way I can underachieve at this point is if I decided I would never leave the couch and my day would be spent throwing poop at people. When I set the bar I planned for a long, long time and it really has worked out in my favor.

I still have to wear the helmet but I did graduate out of the harness and leash. More than most people expected, I think that's why they call me 'special'. Pretty sure 'special' means I'm an over achiever.
I truly belive you could take your act on the road. And prob make bank !:yes: Can I be your manager?

Just finished reading Stephen Ambrose "Nothing Like it in the World"
Story of the building of the Trans-Continental Railroad - 1863-1869
There's some serious "over achieving" going on there! Remarkable story of the perfect storm of events & people that made that pivotal necessity come to completion.
At the end of the race between the Central Pacific from the West and Union Pacific from the East there was track laying competition for most track in a day. They'd been laying average roughly 1.5 to 2 miles per day. The CP laid a 6 mile stretch The UP ramped it up to a bit over 8 miles, then the CP got "motivated". They preplanned and set-up for a final run at the end that would leave the UP with not enough track-laying distance left to even try. The started at dawn and by lunch completed 6 miles, then had to bend rails for curves and finished the day at over 10 miles. Never equaled to this day....

I've been doing so much with so little for so long that I can now do anything with nothing.
I think it's supposed to be 'I can do anything with nothing FOREVER.'
