![]() ![]() ![]() As someone who frequently does not try hard enough and often creates plausible works far below his ken (likely in order to save myself from over-reaching), trying too hard embarrasses me. It’s when someone reaches beyond their comfort zone to bring into the world something that they might not have the skill to bring about and that struggle is evident in the final product-that’s when I begin to feel uncomfortable. A clean success betrays no hint that the accomplishment was any kind of a stretch, no evidence that the achievement was anything other than perfectly in line with the creator’s gifts. When an artist tries to create something amazing and succeeds without hiccough, I am wholly unperturbed-this due the nature of success. When a person tries to act beyond the envelope of their abilities, I become put off. For some reason, and it may be a reaction based upon my own opposing predilection, attempts at overachievement bother me. ![]()
