I have been analyzing myself for years, and even when I come to realize weaknesses in myself, others try to tell me it's not true. (and I know its out of habit of trying to tell someone positive about themselves, even if it isn't true.) <br /><br />It's sad, really. I think if people took a harder look at themselves they would probably themselves happier in the long run. <br /><br />Thanks for the post.American Idiothttp://www.americanidiot.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198390912401056862.post-70827043164646219872009-08-01T13:58:40.932-05:002009-08-01T13:58:40.932-05:00We are not created all the same, like you said we ...We are not created all the same, like you said we all have our special talents, that's what is good and bad in life, we have to find our strengths and know our limitations and appreciate the good and bad in others, everyone is beautiful in their own way.Bob Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582050569176409358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198390912401056862.post-22902038794497332062009-08-01T11:58:15.439-05:002009-08-01T11:58:15.439-05:00This is one of my major beefs about our society. O...This is one of my major beefs about our society. Our "equality" bent has gone so far overboard that we are wasting resources on stupid crap (like wheelchair ramps up into areas that aren't navigable by wheelchairs, anyway, just because the ADA says you have to).<br /><br />Public education needs to get a grip on this--dumbing down everyone so that the whole class makes it through is appalling. Even in districts that have "gifted" education, it's not enough to help the best and the brightest get as much out of it as they can.<br /><br />Perhaps we should go back to the days when the least apt students were steered into vocational schools. Use the resources we have, to the best of our ability.The Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157821003454766570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198390912401056862.post-5355683482498810512009-07-31T23:35:43.188-05:002009-07-31T23:35:43.188-05:00I'll check it out, Roy.

It may not be enough, actually, and skill may also need to be developed, but a skill in an area you are already talented in leads to Michaelangelo and Strativarius. Pursuing skills when you are without talent gets you frustration and unending mediocrity, forgotten in the next generation.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198390912401056862.post-38781583881795341832009-07-31T22:36:16.673-05:002009-07-31T22:36:16.673-05:00Yup!

This is the same thing I say to the New Age, Oprah-addicted "you can do anything you want if you just <i><b>BELIEVE</b></i> you can!" crowd. I addressed this recently on Gather, in fact; an article called <a href="http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474977680318" rel="nofollow"><i>A Realistic View of "Talent"</i></a>. Our strengths and weaknesses define our parameters; that's the beauty of human diversity. It's always good to see other people think this way as well.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.com
