Potential generally refers to a current unrealised ability. It is the possibility of becoming something. Also it is latent qualities or abilities that MAY be developed and lead to future success or usefulness.

Hidden, likely, possible, probable, budding, conceivable, dormant, implied, inherent, latent, lurking, unrealised.

All words relevant to potential.

Frustration is the feeling that when you have identified potential in a person, and that potential is not nurtured and developed.

Through years of experience in a small business, one gets a feel for potential, having dealt with staff on a small scale, and I mostly got it right. Not all of the potential bloomed, through various reasons, but mostly because of the inability of the individual to step up their game. The couch syndrome. The waiting for it attitude. The world owes me attitude.

I did identify the potential in you. I saw it clearly. It was confirmed by tests. The strong personality shone through. The world was really your oyster. You had the backing. It was available. Offered many times.

Then the letdown when lies and deceit clouded the issues. The alcohol abuse. The choices that were so strange.

How did I get it wrong? It was confirmed by tests ? How could I be so wrong ?

But then the realisation dawned. You are realising your potential. Just not in the direction that I was hoping for.

Judging from the comments and ratings, you are realising your potential in your chosen field as a fulltime prostitute. Proudly bragging about the pockets full of money that you are making. Me not understanding the bragging immediately. Knowing now that it was that cruel streak in you lashing out. But you still needing that bottle to get through the day.

Congratulations in realising your full potential as a top class prostitute. My faith in my ability to spot potential has been confirmed. I was not wrong. You have the potential, and you are realising it. Soon you will be a top rated prostitute, well known in SA, something to be proud of.

Thank you for realising your potential.
Thank you for restoring faith in my abilities.

All my very best for your chosen career path. It will however be a short one down the slippery slope of alcolism and eventually drug abuse.

When you lie in the gutter dumped by everyone from mother, father and sister and even the little ones, and you need me, I WILL come for you.

For even after everything, you are still the only one.
