CREATIVITY
WHAT THIS MEANS
Ability means nothing until it meets something that needs it. On its own a talent is an odd private fact about you, interesting to nobody, and it only becomes a gift at the moment it opens something for somebody else. This is why so much practice feels pointless. You can polish a skill for years in your own room and never once put it in a lock.
