Going to the Toilet


Elizabeth Gilbert in this TED talk tries to separate the individual from his creative process. It is one of the ways of reconciling the individual's unexplainable freakish talent in a certain area with the remainder of his personality which may well be unremarkable.

During this year's IPL, in order for his team to not be overwhelmed by a certain opposition player's abilities, a coach stated a practical means of separation of the man from his talent:

"Sachin Tendulkar is a great cricketer but he walks and goes to the toilet like all of us"
- Royal Challengers Bangalore coach, Ray Jennings, says his team will attack the Mumbai Indians captain (April 17th 2010, Cricinfo.com)
