All of the above makes my point about attutude.


Attitude is the key in almost every endeavor. I've succeeded in a

number
of
things for which I had no talent but had sufficient reason to pursue.

These
include Morse code, music, and karate. I had no talent for any of them

but
did quite well simply because I wanted to.

But, Dee, does that mean that everyone must? I'm not saying you've ever
said that, because I don't know. I just wonder what posture you're

taking,
above.

I'm simply saying that lack of talent is not a sufficient justification for
refusing to learn something. I'm saying that motivation is many times more
important than talent. If a person doesn't want to learn something, say so.
Don't try to justify it with the lack of talent argument. I've seen enough
untalented people achieve their goals to have little patience with such
rationalizations.
