Let me tell you one thing, people out there who suffer from low self-esteem due to osu!
Osu! is a competetive game, that is true. But osu! is not about winning... in fact osu! is about loosing and being bad.

why?

Because when you lose, you know hot to improve, you know what part to focus on and you know how to get better, and nothing can hold you back at that point except your own will . So remember this:
If you are bad at osu! be glad that you are bad, because if you wern't bad you just hit a wall my friend. A permanent wall.

I am bad, and I am glad. Because with this knowledge, i know i can improve and be better. But not good. (or perfect if there are some people who do not understand metaphorical expressions)

Man, its all about the time you put into the game and how much you want to become good, theres also abit of skill involved too obviously. Let´s not look too much into it.

What you are saying may be good to improve yourself, but become "pro"? well that´s another thing.

If you managed to go as far, you will be able to get even further. Don't cap yourself.

What i'm trying to say is that some people tend to be very down about some aspects in the game that they do bad at, or by the fact that they can't do something so well.

osu! Is whatever you make of it, but honestly if you think depressingly like this how are you supposed to be entertained by this game. The point of a game is to entertain you; not consume you.

I started getting better in osu! after I said to myself: "why do I even try? I'm always gonna suck at this". Make no mistake - I still suck, but I'm way better than I used to be and the whole thing is a lot more fun to do.
So I mostly agree with you except for one point: it's not the secret of being pro. It's the secret of enjoying the game.

So, I know I'm bad. If I have hit a wall because I don't know how to improve/ what part to focus on to get better, does that mean my willpower is lacking or that my knowledge is lacking?

It is usually a mix of both, but you have to realise that 99% of the time, you definitely haven't reached your limit. Also, if you hit a wall, sometimes it is a good idea to take a break.

Always remember, the only way to improve is to play.

You never reach a wall, it was just a figure of speech i used to help emphasize my point, that when you think you are bad, that means there is room for imporvement, basically this means you will always be bad, and people ironically think that this means they hit a wall, where in reality it is quite the opposite.


Ask yourself the question, why are you bad? Then based on the answer, move on.
