Good taste takes work.
Taste is a skill, not a talent.
Since it is a skill, and needs to mature, you have to work. You’ll need vulnerability. You’ll need strength. Bad taste comes before good.
It takes time, and sometimes public failure, to get there.
Biographies, like this one of Ben Franklin, are a great reminder.
The best, well-researched biographies make us cringe when we read them. They lay the subject bare, and remove some of that luster that made you read their biography in the first place.
So, think about your biography. What failures created your good taste?
If you don’t have any, you are running out of time :-).
