Sometimes I think these 'truths' are damaging because you can read a lot into that. As a youngster, I read 'If I can't make Carl Craig <insert most admired artists here> quality production on this equipment soon, I obviously wasn't meant to do this & have no talent for it (whatever that is)', which is - fair enough - a paranoid mixture of hand me down 'truths'. People need to talk this nonsense through more. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's carried bullshit ideas like that round with me like a millstone round the neck for years, holding you back. I think if you want to find out what you're good at, you need to get rid of this shit & start digging, without these dumb limitations."
