Being gifted needs courage.

I've realized that no problem is as hopeless as it first may seem, I've learned how to live day to day and show others how to do the same, and most of all, I've learned how to just be.

I certainly didn't think of myself as gifted. The standards for being gifted in my environment were if you were good in Little League or if you were good in football.

I'm just not willing to give up on myself. If I'm going to fail, then I want to fail to the limits of my talent.

I want to be perfect. I don't want to fail. And you always fail.

I'm not particularly gifted; I'm not genetically freakish in any sense; I'm absolutely average.

I have always observed that to succeed in the world one should appear like a fool but be wise.
