I remember Krishnamurti saying that every person is born with some gift and that we must understand what it is and use it. He even went hard line and said it doesn't matter if you die doing it, find it and use it. He gave an example of having gift to create art and how thru our socialization we are discouraged by family and society to engage in such activities and persuaded to become business men or doctors instead. Then a kid asks, well can't you be a businessman AND an artist lol. He shakes his head and said something like, kids they are programmed by their society and parents so well lol.
