About James Broaddus

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before:\'I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.\' And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them.\"
