Well it is pretty common for Millenials as we were literally raised on the "everyone is special, do your passion for work, never work a day in your life, blah de blah" message. The reality is some people actually are just special. I watched an interview with David Foster Wallace and two other authors recently and it was blatantly obvious within a few minutes that he was just better than them. All three were professional published authors but it was clear who was gifted and who wasn't. I don't know if that means the other two were wasting their time, but it is definitely discouraging to watch as a fairly average person.
