Can Everyone Develop a Talent for Playing Piano By Ear?

Did anyone else notice that the only reason we were being hard on QT was because he takes things the wrong way and was affected by it? It obviously happens everywhere too. If someone pokes fun at somebody and the person gets mad, soon enough more people join in just because the person is being a tight ass.One thing though, rarely do you find that you have a talent in something without working with it for a while. Everything takes time.

What's really funny is that we always give him really good advice, yet he totally ignores it and finds something to be insulted about.

Look at the "Can I do Calculus?" thread in the Academic section. 95% of the replies were genuine and very helpful, yet he found ways to be insulted. Same with the "What's your IQ thread," we gave him good advice and told him not to worry about his IQ -- especially not to compare it to other peoples -- yet, somehow, he got insulted.

If he’s trying to find something he’s good at, that’s great for him, I think most people do some soul searching at that age. However, most people don’t expect to be hailed as the great messiah of physics at 17 when they haven’t taken a physics course!
