“Cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music. And cooking draws upon your every talent--science, mathematics, energy, history, experience--and the more experience you have, the less likely are your experiments to end in drivel and disaster. The more you know, the more you can create.” KnowsEndsEnergyCreativityCreativeTalentActivityDrawsMathematicsCookingWoodsDrawingDisasterExperimentsImaginativeCarvingDrivel Author:Julia Child

The two are as different from one another as activity and passivity.” MindTwoDifferentMatterAgeSpiritTalentActivityAveragePassivityCaptivatingSwept AwayGreat TalentAverage Minds Author:Franz Grillparzer

Self-appraisals are, therefore, partly based on the opinions of others who presumably possess evaluative competence” PeopleMaySelfAbilityLevelsOpinionTalentActivityJudgmentRelyCompetenceInferenceSelf EfficacyAppraisalLimited Knowledge Author:Albert Bandura
