What is more important: talent or hard work? Talent or hard work: How to raise a genius. That is, it is not talent that is more important, but character

Zhanara Rakhmetova told Steppe about how talent actually appears.

There is an opinion that talent is an innate quality. If a person plays a musical instrument masterfully or breaks records in sports, as a rule, they say that he has a natural gift. Is it really?

In the first episode of his podcast One Percent (1%), Daniyar Abenov dotted all the i's, saying that science and facts tell a different story - in most cases, talented people are not born, but become. Daniyar took as a basis the books “The Talent Code” by Daniel Coyle, as well as the books “Maximum” by Anders Ericsson.

The Mozart phenomenon

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a great Austrian composer of the classical era. From early childhood, Mozart demonstrated a natural gift for music. From the age of 6, he composed music and performed in European royal courts, being already a serious performer on keyboards and violin.

Here is another story about Mozart, based on real historical data. Mozart's father, Leopold, was himself a good, although less famous, composer. Moreover, Leopold was one of the first people to promote the idea of ​​teaching children music from early childhood.

He even wrote a practical guide for teaching children music. Leopold first honed his teaching skills on Wolfgang's older sister. And later he became closely involved in the musical education of little Mozart, who was then only 4 years old.

Based on records from those years, many historians believe that by the age of 6, Mozart had spent about 3,500 hours studying music. Surviving records show that Mozart began writing music at a very early age; his first compositions were not particularly original, but resembled the work of other composers of the time.

This is quite understandable, because he was still learning. Mozart composed his first serious compositions when he was already 15-16 years old, that is, by that time more than ten years had passed since the beginning of his studies. It turns out that in fact Mozart was by no means born a brilliant musician. He became one thanks to his father.

Laszlo Polgar's experiment


In the 1960s, Hungarian psychologist Laszlo Polgar studied hundreds of people who were considered geniuses in various fields. Based on his research, Polgar came to the conclusion that any child is capable of becoming a genius in any field with the right amount of support and training. Laszlo decided to prove this with his own children.

Through a marriage advertisement in a newspaper, Laszlo found the mother of his future children who agreed to his bold experiment. The Polgar couple had three daughters. For their experiment, the parents chose chess. All Polgar girls' education took place at home.

What were the results of this experiment?

Already at the age of 4, the eldest daughter, Zsuzsa, won her first chess tournament - the Budapest Championship for girls under 11 years old. At the age of 15, Zhuzha became the first in the world ranking of female chess players. Zsuzsa also became the first woman to achieve the men's International Master Grandmaster standard. With all this, Zhuzha was not the most titled chess player in the family.

The middle daughter, Sofia, at the age of 14, won the men's international chess tournament in Rome, demonstrating a phenomenal result - 8.5 points out of 9 possible. Sofia managed to reach 6th place in the ranking of the strongest female chess players in the world. But despite all these achievements, Sofia was considered a slacker in the Polgar family.

The youngest daughter, Judith, became the most successful among the sisters. And this is not surprising - after all, by the time of her birth, Polgar’s parents had already accumulated experience in raising 2 chess champions. Among Judit's many achievements is the title of International Grandmaster at the age of 15. At that time, Judit was the youngest player, both among women and among men, who was able to achieve this title. Judit remained the strongest female chess player in the world rankings for 25 years, namely until she retired from the sport.

The results of the Polgar family's experiment clearly demonstrated that with enough training, any child can turn into a child prodigy. Since this experiment, other studies have been conducted showing that genes do not predict talent. In particular, not a single combination of genes has been discovered that would be responsible for a person’s success in a particular area.

At the same time, a large number of experiments and studies have been conducted that clearly demonstrate that anyone can become a first-class master in any field, given enough effort and time. So how does this process work? How does talent develop?

With the development of new technologies, scientists have the opportunity to look under the cortex of the brain and understand what happens in our heads as we develop skills and gain knowledge. Since 2005, many studies have shown that there is a directly proportional relationship between training and skill development, as well as the density and structure of white matter in the human brain.

For example, a connection has been proven between the amount of time pianists spent practicing and the density of white matter in their heads. In other words, the more practice, the denser the white matter in the pianists' brains.

White matter provides pathways that are covered with myelin, a white fatty tissue. Myelin's job is to allow the electrical signal to travel through the neuron without allowing the signal to lose its strength.

It is myelin that is responsible for the development of neural networks in the brain. It is he who helps us acquire and improve skills by improving the functioning of neural networks.

The longer you develop a skill, the denser the myelin coating becomes. And the denser the myelin coating around the pathways, the stronger the skill. Be it sports, dancing, singing, playing a musical instrument or any intellectual skill such as speed reading. All this can be learned by “winding” enough myelin.

However, not every activity or training can lead to talent. To develop talent, you need deliberate and focused practice, multiplied by several thousand hours.

What is “deliberate and deliberate practice”? Experts agree on several elements of this practice. Of these, 5 main ones can be distinguished:

First- It is very important to work with an experienced teacher, instructor or trainer. It is advisable that your mentor already has success in your chosen activity. It is also important that your mentor has experience teaching others - ideally someone of a similar age and level to you.

Second element- this is complete concentration on the process. You need to be constantly turned on during classes, that is, the learning process should be conscious and not automatic. Maintaining a high level of attention continuously is quite difficult. Therefore, experts advise starting with shorter sessions and increasing their duration gradually.

Third element deliberate practice aims to break down the skill being studied into its component parts and work on these components one at a time. Experts also advise training such components at different speeds, slower or faster.

Fourth element- this is repetition. It is necessary to exercise as often as possible, especially as you age. If you do not train often, at some point this will cause the layer of white fatty tissue (myelin) to become thinner and a high level of skill will be lost.

And finally fifth Element- this is motivation. Conscious, goal-oriented activities are very labor-intensive. Therefore, it is important to stay motivated in order to maintain such an intense regimen. To do this, it is useful to remember your goal all the time, try to enjoy the process, and rejoice in small victories.

The fact that talent is not given by nature, but that you can create it yourself, is very encouraging. In fact, anyone, regardless of age, can develop any skill with enough effort and patience.

And perhaps you don’t want to become a grandmaster or virtuoso of violin playing, devoting thousands of hours to this, but just, for example, want to “pull up” an existing skill or learn something new, for example, to sing good karaoke or play the piano. guitar.

Once you try these 5 key elements, you will see how effectively they will lead you to your goal. Not everything will work out at first, but with each conscious and focused practice, the results will surprise you.

You only need eight qualities. The good news is that none of them are innate, i.e. they can be developed. And the whole catch is in the word “possible”! This is where the rub lies.

A huge amount of energy is wasted: should I do it? What will this give me? No one has ever done this! Everyone is doing this now! Is this idea even worth my effort? What if nothing works out?

The secret of hard work is the absence of doubts. When you look at a successful person, you only see a ceremonial picture, but what was the path to this peak? If you have already made a decision and thought it over, don’t waste your resource! Drive away bad thoughts and all “advisers”. This is your success and only you can decide what it looks like. This is exactly how successful people act.

Regardless of the chosen path, you will have to work and achieve success on your own. Don't believe that someone else can do the job for you. You can attract specialists, but they will do what you instruct them to do. And even if super-specialists and very proactive employees are working on making your dream a reality, you will still have to make independent decisions: whether the proposed idea advances towards the final picture of success that you have planned, or moves away from it.

Successful people are not workaholics, but hard workers

Regardless of the field of activity, . If you work tirelessly on your idea, all your thoughts are aimed at achieving results in this area, and at the same time, you do not feel tired at all - then you have made the right choice! If work and pleasure from work are inseparable, then this is the sure path to success.

I have never worked a single day in my life. I just enjoyed my work.
Thomas Edison.

Having such an attitude towards work, of course, it is difficult to imagine that “hard workers” are waiting for the day off or vacation to come. Successful people don’t use a “9 to 5” schedule; they have their own formula: “5 to 9.”

Now it is fashionable to talk about larks and owls. So, a successful person, regardless of type, works by either getting up earlier than everyone else, or staying late than everyone else, and most often, both!

I hardly see daylight. I arrive at work at 5:30 in the morning, when it is still dark, and leave at seven or eight in the evening, when it is already dark. I just move from pavilion to pavilion.
Oprah Winfrey

That’s why successful people are successful: they draw energy from what they do, and don’t “sit and toil in the workplace from bell to bell.” It is this kind of involvement that gives you the energy to move forward towards your success. This does not mean that they never get tired and do not rest, and this happens to them, but more often than not, only after achieving their plans and thinking about the next stage!

Those who do more than just what they love win win.

Does it really happen in our lives that there are only joys and pleasures? After all, even what you may like now, once caused fear, irritation, doubt and even anger. This was the case at the initial stage, when there was no skill or understanding.

So, successful people know how to get together on time and do even hard or unloved work in order to achieve their goal. They train hard. Without hard and systematic efforts, one cannot expect success. And the whole question is not to stop!

Those who ended up at the top did not fall there from the sky!
Marcus Washling

If you think like this: I will achieve success and then... Sheer fun, pleasure and idle pastime!

Alas, I will disappoint you: success cannot be earned once and for all. The most successful people are the strongest “hard workers”! They do not leave their work, even when, in the opinion of others, they could already retire. But no, successful people have hard work, and this is what gives them the opportunity to remain at the top of success for a long time. This happens because hard work is like a subscription fee for the right to be in the territory of success, and it cannot be paid once and for all.

Don't let your soul be lazy!
So as not to pound water in a mortar,
The soul must work
And day and night, and day and night!
Excerpt from a poem by N. Zabolotsky

Older people may object: with the advent of the Internet, easy work has appeared. Sit and press the keys. Virtual work does not require effort, it’s not like moving bags!

But I don’t think so, and my older relatives don’t think so either... Already! Because I invited them to do this “easy job” for me, while I go dig in the beds and get some fresh air. Here it turned out that it turns out that it is of paramount importance how and on which keys you need to “click”, and there is a lot more that you need to know and be able to do.

It doesn't matter what you want to do.In any case, you will have to work a lot.
Jeff Bezos - CEO and founder of Amazon

What comes first? Hard work or talent?

I often hear a lot about talent, they talk about it, they admire it, but hard work remains somehow in the shadows. Basically, it’s the same in life. We admire a beautiful jump, an accurate throw, a well-aimed shot, and often commentators talk about the precision and precision of an action or gesture.

We are also fascinated by the delicate skill of negotiation or the performance of a speaker. We admire the virtuosity of using a voice, an instrument, or our own body. It delights and fascinates. Now stop! It's all ooh-aah-sigh.

How many hours-days-weeks-months-years does it take to prepare this successful performance? And here the question of talent is not so relevant. Michelangelo, a recognized genius of painting, not many people know that in his genius he gave first place not to talent, but to hard work.

If people knew how hard I worked to achieve mastery,they wouldn't think my work was so wonderful.
Michelangelo Buonarroti

You can be very talented and not achieve success. To achieve a goal, to become famous, to gain recognition, you need to practice a lot. Behind an athlete's brilliant five-minute performance in a competition lies several years of hard work. And even if you are not naturally blessed with any special talents, you have a very high chance of success if you are hardworking!

Water wears away stones.
Folk wisdom

In my life, I think, as in yours, there are many examples of friends, acquaintances and relatives who showed great promise in childhood and youth. And now they are a clear example to the younger generation of how brilliantly you can ruin your talents if you are not hardworking.

The famous American basketball player Michael Jordan at the beginning of his career relied so much on his talent and was so lazy that his coach kicked him out of the team. Yes, he showed promise, but it was only hope! This shock allowed Michael to more soberly assess his capabilities and understand that talent alone, without hard work, will not get you far. And subsequently he became one of the most famous NBA players, not only for his talent, but also for his hard work.

And from everyone to whom much is given, much will be required; and to whom much is entrusted, from him more will be exacted.
Luke 12:48

The simplest and most accessible exercises to develop hard work

  1. Advanced training and training. Visible changes for the better in the quality of work that a person does stimulate him, helping to develop diligence. Record what and how much you have improved.
  2. "Assignments for yourself." Set specific goals for yourself in writing (read two books, weed five beds, purchase equipment for a minimum amount, etc.). Record what worked the first time and what you had to return to again. Use for this.
  3. Optimistic attitude towards work. A personal attitude, a positive and conscious attitude towards what you are doing, for whom and for what purpose, helps to develop a hard work ethic.

Hard work is the secret ingredient to success. He often remains behind the scenes. It’s not customary to talk about it; it’s supposed to be there “by default.” But this is a misconception, reprogram your consciousness and understand that hard work must be cultivated and developed throughout your life. Only then is success inevitable!

And how exactly to implement and develop this skill correctly, without rejection - I am ready to help you, as an expert in the field of revealing personal resources, who helps his clients effectively and harmoniously build and walk the path to achieving success.

I won't say it's easy, but it's worth it!

People barely familiar with poker believe that the main thing for winning is bluffing, the ability to read your opponent and blind luck. But what is really more important in poker: luck, talent or hard work?

Luck vs Math

Players at the poker table are divided into two groups: those who believe in luck and try in every possible way to appease and attract it, and those who believe in mathematics, distance and their skill. In fact, both players believe in the same thing, they just call it differently. Luck can be defined as success by chance. That is, in poker, luck is winning a hand by making a mistake on each street. Then failure is when your opponent wins the hand by making a runner-runner straight to the river, although from a mathematical point of view his actions were wrong.

Answer a few questions: When you are dealt a pocket pair of Aces and you win the hand with them, is that luck or not? What if Aces come several times in a row? And if you lose a hand with pocket Aces against 72, is that a failure? A pocket pair of Aces comes into your hand once every 221 hands - and that's part of the game. In 12% of cases, a pair of Aces will lose 72 - this is also part of the game. Every day, 3,500 people die on the roads in traffic accidents - this is part of life, statistics, and someone has to fall into this number.

The Existence of Luck Depends on Point of View

Luck is either there or not - it all depends on the point of view. For example, many players are deeply convinced that tournament poker is a lottery where everything depends on luck. Undoubtedly, it is impossible to win a large tournament for several hundred or thousand people without luck. Professionals will confirm that in MTT you need to be able to win “coins” and you need to run over your opponent from below several times.

But luck in tournament poker is an example of the importance of the concept of distance. One tournament is a very short distance. And it can be argued that luck is extremely important in tournament poker. The most striking proof of this is Chris Moneymaker's victory in the 2003 WSOP Main Event, after which the poker boom began.

An even more striking incident occurred 9 years later, albeit online. In 2012, the WCOOP Main Event was won by a player from Russia under the nickname “maratik”. As it turned out, this guy qualified for the Main Event through a satellite, coming from the very bottom - a tournament for 40 FPP points. Qualifying for a $5,200 buy-in tournament is a big deal, but beating a field of 1,825 opponents and earning $1,000,907 is even more insane. This victory is remembered as the most profitable in the history of poker, considering that the winner invested less than $1 to participate in this tournament. Is it lucky to win such a tournament? Definitely.

Players associate luck with the random number generator and the ability to catch the coveted outs. “If I knew the buy-in, I would live in Sochi” is a classic preference saying that is also relevant in poker. Unsuccessful players develop paranoia about offline poker and rigged RNG in online poker. But in the near future, the RNG of poker rooms will switch to blockchain. And then assumptions about RNG tweaking will forever remain myths.

But luck is not the only important factor in success in poker. Famous player Nikita Bodyakovsky played in the EPT Main Event 10 times early in his career and never made the money. 10 tournaments without ITM will seriously make you doubt the choice of poker as a professional career if you believe in luck and don’t know about the distance. But Nikita Bodyakovsky continued to play offline, and now his total prize money in offline tournaments is more than $6.7 million.

Talent + luck = success

Talent is another factor of success, shrouded in an aura of mystery. Talent in poker can be defined as the ability to see spots, choose non-standard lines and make the right decisions without special theoretical training.

In the 2000s, when there were no poker tutorials, training sites or videos, talented players outnumbered amateurs. And many famous poker names have become popular due to talent. Gus Hanses is definitely one of those people. He earned $10 million in live poker. Gus Hansen is a player whose crazy, aggressive lines have been admired by thousands of viewers of Poker After Midnight. Despite this, Hansen lost almost $22 million in online poker. This is how a talented player may not be successful in the financial part of the issue.

Hard work, or lucky is the one who is lucky

Luck and talent in the right proportions could transform an average player into an extraordinary one. And many of the players who play at high stakes today share a similar story: they loved the game, they were talented, and one day they got lucky in some big tournament. But all famous players have one important quality in common - hard work. Having felt the taste of victory and got a bankroll, good players do not immediately go to higher limits. They start working on their technique and play according to their bankroll. Those who do otherwise return to the starting point.

This happened to a Russian under the nickname “I7AXA”, who was lucky to win almost $200,000 in the Sunday Million tournament. Winning a Sunday tournament for several thousand people is always lucky. But then other qualities come into play. “I7AXA’s” winnings were not enough, he went to high limits, where in just a couple of hands he managed to give away all his winnings to the regulars there.

Hard work is the main quality that will turn a good player into a better one in 2018. Today the field, online and offline, is stronger than ever before in history. Therefore, those who do not work on the game end up at the bottom of the food chain. Young Internet players spend several hours analyzing the game and spots in order to make the best decisions. And due to the fact that every year there are more and more such players, famous players, such as Daniel Negreanu or Patrik Antonius, leave online for offline, where it is easier to withstand competition. And other players, like Vanessa Selbst, give up their careers altogether and move into other areas. Hard work will bring victory. Lucky is the one who is lucky.

Success "HERE" - talent + luck + work

Ultimately, in poker, it's all about the decisions you make. Whether you believe in luck or not is up to you. If it helps, then yes, if not, then what's the point? Is there room for talent in poker? Definitely. But in any case, the main quality in 2018 remains hard work. And if you combine all 3 qualities, then success is guaranteed.

Who achieves more success, fame, money? Someone who has great talent or someone who is extremely hard-working?

Talent is great. This is Mozart.
Salieri, of course, is inferior to him. Too predictable.

But... Due to my profession, I have seen many artists, musicians, fashion designers, poets, and writers.
I saw how people who did not shine with outstanding talent (although they undoubtedly had abilities!) achieved much greater professional success in life than the Mozarts. They received membership in unions, exhibitions, and titles. They had many orders and achieved an excellent financial situation.

Why are they successful? Yes because they are reliable. Anyone wants to do business with them.
Such an author will not let you down. He will take the order, conclude the contract, fulfill all the conditions, and submit the manuscript on time. He will work harmoniously with the editor and will not “split off numbers.” What he cannot achieve with talent, he will achieve with perseverance, hard work, and professionalism.

To compensate for the lack of talent, you definitely need a good school and serious preparation. This is a very important condition.
Therefore, if you have ambitions, hard work, a desire to improve your professional level, hone your skills, and the ability to listen to the people with whom you collaborate, then you have good prospects.
Publishers and editors will work with you because you are reliable, responsible, and you won't let them down.

But I repeat: you must have abilities! It is impossible without this. If a bear has really gotten into a person’s ear from the point of view of literary hearing, then it’s unlikely that anything will help.

By the way, Salieri was also a very capable musician, although because of Pushkin’s little tragedies he was criticized for nothing. In fact, he left behind a lot of excellent compositions that are still performed today.
True, there was no breath of God in him, like Mozart...

In short, to achieve success, it is not at all necessary to think about yourself: “I am a great talent! I am this, I am that!” Let your readers evaluate the level of your talent; they know best.
It is better to think of yourself as a good professional who strives to become even better and is ready to constantly grow. Then the profession will definitely obey you, because it respects persistent, hardworking people.

And talents that are from God sometimes do not reach the finish line. They leave the race too early, I’ve seen this more than once.
High expectations, intoxication with one's own talent, being chosen, inability to overcome difficulties, stress, alcoholism... The result is unfulfillment.

The post was written following a conversation with friend Galina Vrublevskaya


Abilities and talents - these words seem similar in meaning, but they also have deep differences. For many years we have heard that talent is only a small part of success, the rest depends on hard work and perseverance. But is this really so, and most importantly, how do you find out in which area you are really talented?

The question is far from idle, because only by doing “his” business can a person achieve unprecedented heights in professional activity and get great pleasure from it, living in complete harmony with himself. Together with the site, we will learn to identify hidden talents or develop abilities.

Talents and abilities: what's the difference?

Before we start searching for the most competent approach to personal development and the components of success, let’s try to decide on the main concepts with which we will operate. Remember how they sometimes say about a budding artist: “he is not just capable, he is truly talented!” Talent, in this case, is referred to as a certain maximum measure of ability. What do scientists think about this?

An ability is considered to be a skill or skill that a person acquires during the learning process and makes it possible to successfully cope with a particular type of activity. So, a master who can determine in a matter of seconds what happened to your car (computer or vacuum cleaner) is most likely not a genius, although he has plenty of ability and opportunities for learning, that is, practice. What then is talent?

We are used to poeticizing this concept, calling it a gift from above, but scientists are sure: it’s all about genetics! They define talent as an innate, genetically determined ability to perform certain tasks.

Is it so important to be talented?

So, the originality of someone’s data is determined by set of genes, inherited by a person from his parents. But what about the statement that only hard work will lead to victory, and talent, without proper effort, will achieve nothing?
To identify the influence of talent on achieving results, scientists conducted an experiment on a control group of athletes. Not only the level of initial training was the same, but also the conditions, as well as the intensity of the load.
As one would expect, the subjects showed completely different results: some significantly improved their initial performance, while others achieved almost no success. At the same time, participants in the experiment with similar biological data demonstrated approximately the same achievements.

It turns out that work, even very hard work, is not enough, and you need to have innate abilities inherited from your parents? But perhaps such abilities are needed only by athletes, and other laws apply in the field of intellectual activity?

Scientists have studied this issue in detail, examining the relationship between the intensity of practical training among musicians and chess players and the results they demonstrated. It turned out that the level of skill depends only 30% on practice, and the rest is determined by innate abilities!

The theory of 10,000 hours: still work

Perhaps you have heard about the theory of 10,000 hours of work? Its author, M. Gladwell, claims that it is ten thousand hours of hard practice that allow a person to master perfectly a certain skill, regardless of the ratio of a person’s talents and abilities.

In the group of subjects (these were students learning to play the violin), outstanding results were achieved only by those who spent exactly the same number of hours on training. Violinists who spent 8,000 hours practicing showed good results. Those who limited themselves to 4,000 hours of training received a very mediocre level of training.

Does this mean that by devoting a strictly defined time to honing a certain skill, you will become an unsurpassed professional in your chosen field of activity?

Indeed, the intensive efforts that you make when mastering this or that type of activity will contribute to a specific restructuring of your brain, and therefore will make you very effective in your chosen field.

What is more important: talent or hard work?

So, we have every reason to believe that talent is very important if you are not going to be satisfied with average performance and have a firm intention to conquer the peaks and top the ratings, to become a brilliant professional.
It is your talent and abilities that will allow you to easily and naturally cope with tasks that others can only achieve at the cost of considerable effort. But, of course, talent alone is not enough if, having achieved your first successes, you do not apply the due diligence. It is work that polishes the edges of talent and makes it reveal itself to the fullest.

What if you’re unlucky with talent? In this case, the 10,000 hours of hard work spent will also not be in vain; they will allow a capable “average” person to become an excellent professional.

What to do if you are not very talented

So, what to do if you are sure that you were unlucky with your talents and, unlike those who always shone at the Olympics, famously scored goals or produced divine sounds, easily running their fingers over the keys, you modestly drew caricatures in the margins of your notebook and Did you take home a report card with C grades?

Probably, you were simply unlucky with teachers who did not take the trouble to discern your talents and abilities. Because talent can manifest itself in something completely ordinary, to which even you yourself have not paid much attention.
Remember and analyze what exactly comes easier to you than others, and at the same time brings great pleasure? It is in this area of ​​activity that you have undoubted abilities that are worth developing and improving!

We begin to look for deeply hidden talents

Urging you not to go with the flow and urgently figure out your (still hidden) talents and abilities, we bring to your attention several questions that will give you the opportunity to discover what exactly you are strong in:

1. What is the opinion of your loved ones about your talents and abilities? Ask this question to everyone who has known you well for a long time, perhaps they will point out one or another of your strengths that you simply did not attach much importance to. Be sure to analyze everything you hear from a certain position.

2. Think about which of the things listed by your acquaintances and friends is easy for you, but the result exceeds your wildest expectations? Remember not only school lessons, but any episodes in which you shone. Make a list to think about the information in more detail.

3. Now try to answer which of the above is not only easy and good for you, but also brings you pleasure. Found it? Most likely this is your talent, which you have diligently tried to “bury” for many years.

You may be asking why do you need all this? You are already a good professional, so why and who needs this search for talent? Alas, life, consisting exclusively of everyday routine, becomes monotonous and boring. That's why we often get irritated for no reason, grumble and even We plunge into depression. Very often, considering ourselves not very talented, we do not realize the need for self-expression and deprive ourselves of the most fascinating moments of inspired creativity that are so familiar to talented people.
