Image: Trumpeter Everyone has great potential in them. EVERYONE!! We all have talents that are meant to help better not just us but our world.

You must discover your talents, no one else can do it for you. No one else knows those things that you not only enjoy doing but come naturally to you. It's your duty to yourself and mankind to discover and develop it.

You must do this because everyone has been put here with something to contribute to the good and advancement of the world and that thing is your talent.

Image: Saxophonists Imagine how the world would have been if Graham Bell hadn't invented the telephone because he refused to discover and develop his talent.

How about if other great scientists just refused to develop their talents. No one would have heard about them of course. And it's not even like when they were born there was a special thing about them that said they would one day enter the history books. It's simply because they applied their talents.

You see, it's not just that you should discover your talents, you must develop and apply it. Make it useful to society and mankind, that's what makes the discovery interesting.

Developing your talent will take time and energy. And at times, it might even seem a worthless effort but at the end you're guaranteed success, great success.

A personal appeal from me to you.....let's all try to discover what we have in us, so that we can all make the world a better place to live in.
