* Aang has this attitude about being the Avatar and having the Avatar State in the first episode of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. When he goes into the Avatar State he can kick ass, but season two reveals that he has nightmares about the chaos he causes while out of control. He also tells Katara that he didn't reveal to her or Sokka at first that he was the Avatar who went missing a hundred years ago because he never wanted this role. (It's justified when his friends stopped playing with him when he was revealed to be the reincarnation of Roku, and the monks planned to separate him from his mentor and father figure Gyatso, believing that Gyatso would not be able to train Aang sufficiently.) Part of Aang's [[Character Development]] is balancing his will to become the savior the world needs with his desire to stay a kid.

* In ''[[Inside Job]]'', the episode where Rand makes Brett run for senator against his brother shows that Brett is a great politician. The only problem? Brett's parents ordered him to drop out of the race or they'd disown him. So Brett tries to sabotage himself with the classic political scandals, only for dumb luck and his naturally nice personality to elevate his accomplishments. {{spoiler|He talks with a hooker about how dangerous sex work is when planning to get caught in bed with her, and accidentally legalizes unionization efforts for sex work. An attempt to get photographed snorting cocaine with a Canadian drug lord causes him to kill the drug lord with a [[Sneeze of Doom]], leading to Mounties congratulating him for a sting operation and he negotiates a water deal while high off his ass.}} Reagan herself is astonished that Brett can't be damage his public image if he tried, until he reveals {{spoiler|a lifelong dream to become a puppeteer}}.
* Downplayed in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'': the Cutie Mark Crusaders keep ignoring what they're good at (and could actually earn them their Cutie Marks and set the tone for their lives) in favour of trying out many other activities (which don't get them Cutie Marks). {{Spoiler|In a high amount of irony, the Crusaders end up getting their Cutie Marks because after trying every activity possible turns out that they are, collectively and individually, actually good at making other people reconcile with talents and Cutie Marks they didn't feel they identified with... and the first episode after getting their marks involves them questioning this very own talent.}}
* Gus from ''[[Recess]]'' is a master at dodgeball, a skill that earned him the nickname "El Diablo". From when he transfers to 3rd Street School he keeps this a secret from everyone, even his friends, as he fears the harm his talent can cause. When Spinelli holds his guitar hostage to make him spill why he no longer plays dodgeball, Gus explains that during a ferocious game, he accidentally hit a kid who wasn't playing; the kid ran off crying before Gus could apologize and spent every subsequent recess inside.
