You meet your nephew at a family BBQ and he tells you he's playing baseball. Two questions come to mind: "What position do you play?" "What is your team's record."
He responds that he plays all the positions by himself in his backyard but has never played an organized game because he was too good.....

Challenge him. If he says no, let him dream, if he says yes, wake him up.

He wanted to play baseball, but there were no players anywhere - so he had to play football. When a kid in his neighborhood tried to organize their first game - all the football players criticized the players for not being as good as the New York Yankees.Originally Posted by Ray Pina

Tell him that he doesn't know the true baseball. There are methods to running the bases that are only revealed to insiders. Had he studied under a real coach, he would understand this.

As to the correlation, I was being serious, if someone is happy living in a fantasy realm it can be ok, so long as they aren't too far deluded. With martial arts this can be dangerous, they may act when they shouldn't. I think if you care or respect someone its in their best interests for the bubble to be burst.

a kid tells his parents he would like to play the piano, there is only one piano instructor in his area (though he is not great)... he decides to take lessons, he learns and perfects what he is taught.
He continues playing even after he surpassed his teacher, he continues to explore piano playing on his own, he studies the piano techniques of others on line so he can better his playing, and he is HAPPY with what HE has accomplished.
However...
He is not a concert player, ever played in an band, or played in front of people... so that means skills are worthless.... correct?
Or maybe he has played in front of others but he is no Liberachi, so he should quit playing... correct?
Maybe he is a virtuoso but is not interested in proving to others what he can do, so that mean he truly knows nothing... correct?
Maybe it is hobby for him, and he has no intention on playing in public or post videos on online or record himself playing... it is something he does for himself. Does this mean he is wasting his time?
EVERYBODY has their OWN reasons for what they do, learn, or have interest in...

Suppose his teacher convinces him that Chopsticks os the highest form of Piano performance.
so the student learns Chopsticks and practices that exclusively (read: chi-sao).
Then beaming with pride, the student appears at a public performance and.....
BAM....he's on this forum with three accounts.
