This reminds me of the thing that I always think of and that is that there are
TWO REASONS why someone takes a certain career path.

The first reason is because they have ABSOLUTELY NO APTITUDE FOR IT but are
(therefore?) so incredibly fascinated by it that they work night and day to get
it right, testing everything in their path three times over. Trying everything.
Endless energy.
It is the OPPOSITE of them!

The second reason is because the person has an INCREDIBLE APTITUDE for it and
just lifts their tiny little finger to produce results the other person has to
work night and days to get. They are often bored by the whole thing and the
other guy can overtake him on certain projects.

And i think it's possible the second guys body of work can end up being less
then the first guys.

I'm not sure if I read this or made it up, I hope the former!!!!
