In my opinion, both Rulez and Spiral do have point.

@emshomar
This the only thing I could find where I smile - a poorly edited face of mine used for the 100th subscriber special on OCGAnime:
it seems that if you watch video from RPC it is not good quality so go on YouTube if you want.

Something I would like to know since a kid would be playing piano, but at the same time I think I was not destined for music. I never had that bug for music. Maybe having classes would work, but I think some talent/vocation would be required too.

Of course time and effort factor, but suggesting that talent simply does not exist and that everyone is inherently equal in their abilities and potential is insane. No, it's not fair, but it's the way the universe works.
I'm sorry. I kinda exaggerated my point. It's true that some talents could just be in your blood, but I do stand by my opinion that practicing, effort and putting love into what you do is just as, maybe more important.

They are indeed. Applying yourself is always the deciding factor of success, realistically, and that's exactly how it should be.

Biology clearly plays a role in the way each individual's mind works (none of us are born the same), some may be developed more in the areas of abstract thinking, and some are more built as calculators. I think that the best thing you can realistically do is to pursue the things you're good at. For instance, PowerPatrick and I are almost the opposite when it comes to our strengths and weaknesses, but combining that with our similar personality type, we're able to create amazing concepts and products. With Rulez for instance, we're very similar regarding our strengths and weaknesses, so if we place ourselves into an activity where we can bounce that both off of eachother (e.g. playing in a band together), the results will be as optimal as they can get.

I agree with this. People always told me since a young kid that I had an uncommon perception of abstract space and sensitiveness to the physical elements that surround me, and I decided to trust in them and explore more those abilities. It happens it made me discover what I really like to do and what I can do. :)

Meh, I believe I'm lacking in the creative element, I don't really hold an interest in the arts, I'm on the other side of the spectrum, I do well in maths related subjects.

Depends. Many people caonsider me to be more kinda concrete and intellectual guy, but since sometimes I can't help myself but thinking the opposite. The thing is, I'm good in both, so I haven't been able until now to determine what I'm really good at and what I should really work on :| . Or maybe I'm deceiving myself :oops2:

Many people think it's pretty balanced between talent and practise : I read an interview two years ago about contorsionists in which they say it is 50-50 in their art between talent (the flexibility of their bodies) and practise.

That being said, I'm back, even if working hard as I'm in an internship :D

I'm a huge music addict but never had big interest in learning how to play any myself. Maybe I should give the piano a spin someday.

I'm the opposite. I find most kinds of mathematics quite boring. I dedicate maybe 90% of my thought to popular culture and artistic things and the other 10% to cosmic stuff like death and the future.

At least I appreciate music, and love to listen to it. It would be terrible for me if for some reason I was becoming deaf.

^ Same. When I am not playing Games, it's the music I listen. As for singing I don't sing good at all but I still enjoy singing.

Yes, it was a 100 Subscribers special for my second channel called OCGAnime where I upload Anime videos. I know I don't sing good but It seems other people appriciated fact I tried my best which really means to me. Plus I really have bad mircophone and it was huge pain to sync my voice with instrumental of Yatterman theme.

Fun fact. OCGAnime channel has more views then my main one :P
But of course I cannot get payed for that because I am not owenr of those Anime episodes so it is third party content I upload.

Your pitch is pretty decent, but what makes me actually quite fond of your singing is your confidence and your tone, especially the way you're able to growl your voice when needed. If you can just improve your stability and pitch, then I think you would actually be quite good indeed.
