Thank you for a nice dose of reality in this thread. What you say is especially true for those who are gifted, but for whatever reason (whether it's a negative family life, a backwards school system, the natural need to fit it among less creative peers, etc.) get the creativity and the spark for life stamped out of their head before they experience enough of the world to truly realize their potential.
