Why, if someone is good in one field can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in other fields?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Somehow our society has formed a one-sided view of the human personality, and for some reason everyone understood giftedness and talent only as it applied to the intellect. But it is possible not only to be talented in one's thoughts but also to be talented in one's feelings as well.
In talking about the impact of ideas in one field on ideas in another field, one is always apt to make a fool of oneself.
When you write something it has to hit the level that you accept as being good.
People are generally badly advised when they're starting out in the creative field.
People have talents that are different. Where does the creative flow come from - inside us or from a higher power? I don't ask any questions. I just write it down.
Hardly any human being is capable of pursuing two professions or two arts rightly.
It's harder to be a success, globally, and be artistic. Harder to have that balance than just to be artistic when nobody understands you.
Even if you actually have the good intent to do something creative or special with your life, it's hard. I mean, look at the number of people who actually get the opportunity.
Many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they're not - because the thing they were good at at school wasn't valued, or was actually stigmatized.
Can anybody be given a great degree of creativity? No. They can be given the equipment to develop it-if they have it in them in the first place.
