He who has realized the Self in the Heart has transcended the dualities and is never perplexed.
'YOU AREN'T TALENTED' - it cuts right to the fear of every artist.
The number one thing I am earnestly attracted to is intelligence. Writers are thus the pinnacle of intelligence. While actors are great and awesome, writers literally create new worlds from scratch. What is sexier than that? Personally, I don't know why every person out there isn't dating a writer.
When you wrap up your self-worth with your talent, and suddenly you might not be the most talented, that's really scary.

That quality is what makes women great collaborators; we understand it's a team effort. Even if it comes from society telling us to be polite.
