There was an advertisement I saw on TV, the other day. A husband got mildly injured and wife, instead of healing his pain, was hitting his place of injury with sling-shot.

Most people don’t write/create/paint/draw/sculpt mainly because of two things – Firstly, they think they suck at what they do. Secondly, they are horrified to fantasize about how other people will respond to their creations.
