Well it's just that all the "exceptional" people I've met (far less than you have, I must admit) had somehow gone beyond the casual "wannaprove" relationship to others and, free of all kinds of social fears and "walls" (that often lead to very negative behaviours like arrogance), were able to embrace their art or skills with total freedom, which, in my world at least, is the quintessential condition to achieve great things in life...
