Thanks. I really think I'm like medium talent (props to the people who get that obscure Bill Murray reference). I went to art school and I saw some fabulously talented people and some entirely deluded people. Medium talent isn't a bad place to be if you recognize it and work to be better. There's the pernicious trap of being so wrapped up in your exceptional skills that you brag about your test scores or whatever on the internet and rest on your laurels. I've never been happy enough with anything to want to do anything but be better. I'm done with this but not really happy with it.
