You Have No Talent?


You Have No Talent?

Sure, it’s feeling great, when you’re blessed, chosen, being called talented.

“But don’t you be conceited,” I warned myself, “as though you’re more, greater than others who haven’t. Have they no feeling, no dignity, no talent?”

Besides, what honor is there were a very talented child performs a piano recital in the Carnegie Hall Of Fame as it does not take him the trouble to exercize, prepare, as I think of someone as Mozart or a squirrel who runs, jumps, climbs in trees effortless? But were a mute, deaf man can so exercize himself till he can make a speech and sing that’s worth more than a standing ovation. Praise to his teachers.

I think, Man is immeasurable, infinite. Were a man to have “no” talent, yet, if he has a thousand years to learn to compose as Mozart, or to learn the relativity theory of Einstein, he could be their equal.

So thinks Pak Arif.
