A very inspirational letter; however, he got into the very elite selection of 25 artists, with any one of them being way more talented than 99.99% of the country.

I would so describe him naturally talented regardless of the personal perspective he had of himself. I also see no other way he could got into Pixar (given of course his perseverance.)

I agree passion and hard work leads to better results than wasted talent, but there is no substitute for affinity.

Anyway, thank you Pete for the great movies and great advice.
