“You can’t talk butterfly language with caterpillar people.”

Trish Deseine

There are a lot of forces that will lead you astray when you're trying to figure out what to work on. Pretentiousness, fashion, fear, money, politics, other people's wishes, eminent frauds. But if you stick to what you find genuinely interesting, you'll be proof against all of them. If you're interested, you're not astray.

A talented person can quickly become mediocre when you force them to be someone they aren’t.
