I think 10x is a combination of a person and an ecosystem at a point in time.

It's not necessarily good or bad; it's just something that happens.

Sometimes one human being is in a position in which they can do extraordinary, awe-inspiring things.

Great scientists, engineers, artists, composers, military leaders, philosophers, etc.

If I had the opportunity to be 10x at something, I would go for it.

But I'm not too stressed that I don't at present, as I can still live a pretty nice life without being a super-genius or a great figure in history.

If you can build a lifestyle for yourself that's sustainable and enjoyable, then you're still doing well.
