[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is not passionate about anything and therefore does not work hard to be the best.  Nothing wrong with that except she is unhappy about it.  She needs to get over this.  This is most people and not a reason to be unhappy.[/quote]

I find this thread very strange. Just because you're passionate about something doesn't mean you're good at it. Why does everyone think that? I think that's the problem around here. People equate being passionate and having a pointy interest with excelling at something.

Your DD sounds terrific and I think you should focus her on finding happiness, not her "passion." My DD is one similarly only "pretty good" at everything but is a very happy child because she picks activities that make her happy even if she's not good at them! I also have a DS who is very good (first place awards good) at something but it isn't his passion. He finds the activity okay but would rather spend time doing something else which he happens to be less good at.[/quote]
