In a sense, you are very special. In many other senses, you are probably not. It's mostly about what you see as special. If you expect to be significant or world-changing, the odds are slim. It's kind of depressing in some ways, but it sure does take a lot of that pressure I had as a kid. (eg. if you don't do everything perfectly, you'll be a failure)
