It always good to strive to be the best person you want to be. Take advantage and set high goals for yourself. It is good to take caution and be the best. BUT, do not let perfectionism ultimately define and take over you. It sets unrealistic expectations and extreme stress. Work hard, set your mind to a goal, don't stress yourself out, and think of positive things.
Because art is something humans just do. all humans have a liking to music or drawing or sculpting or some kind of art. its not a cultural thing, its a human thing.
