Oh this is so true

It always really annoys me when people do this to others "He's so good at drawing, I wish I was that talented", "She's so smart, I could never do any of that".

Meanwhile, that person probably put crazy amounts of time into practising the skill in question and that's all just being dismissed as "they were born that way".

Talent plays into many things, but it's never all there is to a person's skill.

People tell me "you had that inborn, so you could, I can't You will never understand" and other things like that. I not only feel annoyed, but also feel bad. A lot of mixed feelings of guilt, sorry etc come. 😔

Don't feel guilty, you put the time in to become the expert, they didn't.

FRostri • Mar 23

Yeah, it's hard to avoid feel bad for that type of comments, but you should think that you make the effort to be better in what you do

LOL! But for those facing this problem, there are many solutions to this actually, one of them is to consider taking an internship 😉.

Or setup a business (I did this and probably got as much money as an intern)

The original WWW internet server had a sign like that. You can see it on display at CERN in Switzerland along with the original paper printout message asking for it not to be unplugged.
