Let's define "talent" as being +95th percentile at something. I believe that everyone is talented at *something*. The problem is that most people will either: 1) Not try hard enough at something to unearth that talent. 2) Not try enough things to figure out where their talent lies. 3) Get stuck doing something they're merely good at, never discovering where they can be great.

Society doesn't have a homeless people problem. Homeless people have a society problem.
Unpopular opinion: Dahmer should be a 1st ballot Hall of Famer. Not the most impressive stats, but the fact that all of his victims were grown men men makes it easy. If JWG and TB36 got in, Dahmer deserves a Yellow Straight Jacket.

It's easy to be an asshole. It's easy to be a doormat. The challenge is not in the extremes. The challenge is to be stern but personable. The challenge is to be kind but tough.

So far, the book proposal: -Got me the agent -Got me the deal -Help me write the book when I was lost -And now it's helping me with the marketing Even if you don't plan to go the traditional route, a book proposal is still a worthwhile thing to invest time into. This 68-page document that took me 3 months to refine continues to be a saving grace.
Every news story isn't a distraction from another. I promise you the news covers multiple stories daily. Your lack of awareness of a situation doesn't mean no news outlets are reporting it. It just means the news outlets *you* follow aren't covering it.
