Editorial
July 1, 2010Talent is generally considered to be an innate, personal gift possessed by relatively few people. In essence, someone with talent has an aptitude to do certain things. Every person is born talented in some way or the other. If we had to measure talent by any means then it has to be the amount of humility the person has. Fried Eye has brought me into contact with various kinds of people and my personal experience says that, the more the person is talented the more he is humble and wise. Another thing that I noticed among the more talented people is the daring quality to follow their mind. Whatever happens, they just follow their own mind. Perhaps, this quality makes them so talented otherwise talent gets wasted.
Whatever it is, we just appreciate who dare to follow their mind.
Cheers!

I have known people who are apologetic about being good,
and some who love it that they are bad.
The point is that there is no absolute truth.
Somebody’s pig is someone’s bacon.!
I agree with what you have said, most of the talented people are talented because they are of the beaten track, like Schwinger told about the genius Feynman, they are people who follow “the beat of a different drum”. However, your every word can be applied to a genius too.
Good one, I liked it.
Maybe, I haven’t yet met the not so humble but immensely talented people. 🙂
—the more the person is talented the more he is humble and wise–
well not necessarily .. there are many who are not 🙂
