"You Suck" Mindset

So I was reading here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/view...opic_id=208343

When I came across a section entitled "You Suck". Its interesting as heck, and focuses on the mindset you should probably have at any level of play, in order to scope how good you are compared to the population. I feel like summing it up for those who dont want to read through the thread. Im posting this here in the BSG section, because I feel like it can help lower ranked players more than higher ranked players, as it is a way to ensure more efficient improvement in SC2. Of course, if you've hit an imaginary skill ceiling in a higher level, this could be a good way to think differently about your situation as well.

Basically, it tells you that you suck, statistically. If you look at how many people are ranked higher than you, you can realise how low of a player you are in the big picture of SC2. Once you have established that you suck, you can more heavily focus on how to improve.

Personally, I think this is the best mindset to have. Im in diamond at the moment and constantly find reasons to tell myself why I suck, and how I should improve based on those reasons. Although, you if you're too hard on yourself, it could cause you to really suck and then ragequit from SC2. Be hard on yourself to the degree that forces improvement, but not to the point that causes you to be alienated from not just the game but also the community.

Do you guys follow a mindset close to this, or think this is the correct/wrong way of thinking?
