People who don't write ugly words are normal. You don't have to listen to others, because you don't have a lot of practice. Practice helps. Why is everyone talking about talent? You are excellent now, and you can do it at a young age. You have caught up with many contemporary and even ancient calligraphers, so keep writing and don't hurt Zhong Yong. As long as you can do one thing, it is your gift. As for the result, it depends on the time and energy you put in.
Talent is not only in the field of calligraphy, in fact, in any field, people who reach the peak, that is, what we call genius, rely not only on hard work, but on talent. This view may bring more or less psychological imbalance to some extremely hard-working people, but it is totally unnecessary. Just look at it objectively. You must admit that everyone's IQ and hobbies are different, so that you can give full play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses.
The subject asked about calligraphy, so let's talk about it. I have always emphasized interest in practicing calligraphy. Interest is the best teacher. Only if you are interested in it can you lift your weight easily and you won't be bored in your study. Otherwise, I don't believe you can do anything that makes you feel painful. First of all, cultivating interest is the first priority. Strengthen calligraphy theory's study and take part in calligraphy activities. As long as you are integrated into this group, your interest is there. If you are interested, you are not afraid of poor handwriting.
