Most people don't find their creativity. There are more unsung geniuses that don't even know they have great talent.
Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered--either by themselves or by others.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910
Pakistan never valued Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan saab until English songwriter Peter Gabriel started collaborating with him. After that, the country suddenly realised that they have an amazing talent. This is the story of a lot of artistes there.

In my mind, I'm still this kid from St. Louis, Missouri, that nobody really knows.

Then there are the players that developed internally. They go to small schools and they continue to work on their games and they blow up later.
I could give you some names of Workshop participants who are as good as many who are being published but haven't had the right editor recognize their merit or have not been adequately published.
