I have to disagree with your some of your viewpoints. I endlessly try till my eyes can no longer see and my vision goes blurry forcing me to give in for that day. I spend months waiting on other people who still don’t do what they needed. I endless see people just toss out like bath water great opportunity because it dint allows them to change the world forever. I invest way too much time in things that never amount to much. I’m not talking about a short week or a month I’m talking years of my life gone and nothing to show for it. Sometimes you just got to know when to toss in the towel and look for another path to go down.
That’s the thing about talent. Its is easy to brush off when you have it, and you see others who have more than you. Sure practice can make perfect but not for everyone. I lacked the talent to get where I needed to go. There are just not enough hours in a day to make up for it.
