Это безусловное клише, но любой талант требует еще многих сопутствующих качеств, самое главное из которых, как ни парадоксально, это уверенность, что он существует. Только она может провести через соблазны прагматического быта, которые упрашивают, молят не рисковать, не пробовать. Ведь если засомневаешься на минуту, если, как в той сказке, рука дрогнет или глаз моргнет, то затянет тут же талант в предательский водоворот частных устремлений и мелких радостей. И разменяют они его. ↗
