OSCAR WILDE OBSERVES
Those who lack talent to such
a degree that they can recognize neither it nor its total absence are
thereby mercifully spared the realization of the true level of their own
ability.
MARK TWAIN REMARKS
Talent is simply being able
to fool enough of the people enough of the time for long enough to get them to pay you often enough for what you do.
