Some people just have the spark that it takes to be good -- were that not true, we would all be movie stars, or artists making money, or best-selling writers. It's not about fancy degrees or number of years of experience; it's about talent and potential. I think you'll find that those other attendees will have as much to learn from you as you will from them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874186529099858245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-1147752905489680522006-05-15T22:15:00.000-06:002006-05-15T22:15:00.000-06:00What a great experience for you.

Devotion, energy, stamina, vision, these are things you must have to be able to keep painting while working full time as well. <BR/><BR/>It took me awhile but I finally realized that all the other things I did in the past all fit together and help my work be what it is now. Your design of air pollution control systems must help your painting, though for the life of me I can't imagine how! :-) But you will know, at some point anyway.Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-1147464125834173052006-05-12T14:02:00.000-06:002006-05-12T14:02:00.000-06:00what an absolutely amazing opportunity!!
