Delusions of Grandeur

Sometimes I fantasize that everything is easy for me. I could try something and just be brilliant at it. Languages, art, science, etc. I'd have groundbreaking insights in a field after just doing some cursory reading on it.

Reality isn't like that. I can't even spell "cursory". Most things are not easy for me. They take time. Work. Effort. For some subjects (like spelling), regardless of the effort, I seem to not make any headway.

Is it weird that I fantasize about being a genius rather than winning the lottery?
