Talent

One thing that you should know is that everybody has a talent. Just like I have one, you have one too. My talent is music. I can write music and I can also sing to it. I know it is my talent because it is what I do best and love doing. Some of you really have a hard time trying to discover your talents and you do that by fitting yourselves into other peoples talents, you try to do what other people do, simply because you believe it is what you were meant to do and not what you can do.

Your beliefs mislead you. It is very easy to discover your talent. There must be something that you love doing, that gives you peace that you hardly get when you do other things and finally you are good at it, and you don’t have to put too much energy into it, you just sharpen it a little bit and you end up doing it better than everybody else.


Lets take an example of Tiger Woods, I am sure that all of you have watched him playing golf. He is so at peace and has no tension at all while hitting that ball. If there is something similar that you experience in your life then your talent is right in front of your eyes. Upgrade what you do best from grade six to grade nine, and if you are able to do it then that is your talent and you don’t have to live your life convincing yourself that you have no talent.


My talent as I said is singing, I love music. You should drink, eat and dream what you love, like I do music. I have gone through ups and downs with my music career but I have not given up yet. You will be able to read the whole story and what I have gone through, you will be surprised what those who have made it in music have to go through before they get where they are.


My book about music is known as MORE THAN A MILE. The title signifies how somebody thinks that getting what he /she wants is as easy as walking for just a mile but on the way the person comes to discover that its not only one mile it’s a long way that one cannot even see the end from a far.
