Don’t tell your talent to anyone until you become very successful person, they will keep an evil eye on your talent and they will destroy your talent. I was very talented/creative person created so many video games, art, pencil sketches, poems but I was not allowed to tell what I was doing. So everyone thought I was very dumb . I had the talent to become best student of my university but I end up being a dumb alone person who was blacklisted from college.When I realized it was very stupid advice, it was too late. Now I have lost all the interest in everything and I am living like a dead person, I just eat sleep masturbate and do drugs. Never in my life I have thought that it will end like this.
And yeah second advice was you should always earn from your talent. Money is everything, it is the only success. My bank account can surely tell you that money cannot buy happiness.
