Flaws

I was always a swimmer; I just always had a natural knack for swimming. I started swimming shortly after I could walk, and never took a swimming lesion. My parents tried to pull me out of the pool and the ocean, but I always just loved being in the water. I started surfing, and swimming in high school. I started swimming as a senior in high school and excelled. I always wondered if everyone has a gift that is also their tragic flaw. If you get to be really good at something you lose your fear, and become sloppy. For example when surfers get really good they will surf under any conditions. During these extreme conditions one slip up could mean your life. If you get overconfident you could end up dead. Often when I am paddling out into the ocean I wonder if this is it?
