Genius does what it must, and talents does what it can.
Not everybody is gifted in studying academically but many are more artistically and vocationally inclined.
So, if you are talented in arts, DON'T GIVE UP!! DON'T LET ANYBODY TELL YOU ARE WORTHLESS because if LAT can do it, so can you!!
This is a solid proof that even though you are not successful academically, you can still be successful with your talent! Our education system is only academically oriented. Therefore, don't be stress out if you can't do well in school. Just show your talent and be proud of it.
