Well written. It’s written in simple words and yet the message was beautifully conveyed, and inspiring as well.

So true.
At the beginning of this year I found that I have a talent for drawing.
But the talent isn’t actually for the drawing part. I have a photographic memory and a need to draw the pictures in my mind.
But to get those pictures on paper is work, work and more work.

Your post is moving me! I once taught that I didn’t have the talent to do some sort of sophisticated and scripted flash. That’s why for months my blog was abandoned. But now, the confidence is back. I’ll fill it up with my work of a lifetime.

What you said is true. I guess it is also proven true in a lot of cases. Many times we use talent as an excuse to procrastinate, or maybe shift the blame to others so we take less responsibility.

Another thing about being talented. The more talented you are, or the more gifted, the more is expected of you. If you have a talent and do not use it properly, it will be wasted (or taken away).

Cheers mate!
