An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it. There was a girl named Margaret who was immensely talented. But she was very humble and never liked showing it off..One day there was a competition for scholarships and she was asked to take part by her teacher. But as usual she refused and gave her friend's name. And to god's glory her friend was awarded the first prize and a scholarship to London . Margaret who without doubt was eligible for it could not receive it. A year later there was sudden death of her father and her family was in a serious crisis. She had to discontinue her studies and set to work. She needed a job badly and gave applications to many places. One day when she arrived for interview she found out that the manager of that company was her friend who she had sent in her place for the scholarship. But Alas! The friend did not recognize her and did not give her any position. She was extremely sad. She realized that if that day she would have agreed to take part in the competition the scholarship would be hers and she would be where her friend is today. She started crying on her fate. She possessed a lot of talent but could not gainfully use it . There are many such things on earth which exist but no body knows because they are not utilized gainfully. The luck of having talent is not enough; one must also have a talent for luck..

Everyone of us have some kind of talent in us. Its only our carelessness that we fail to recognize them. At times its because of our own ignorance or at times its sheer humbleness.

But when we have something we should utilize it to the right advantage. Similarly if talent exists its important that we utilize it effectively. Everyone has a talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark places where it leads. For achieving anything in life Talent is an important factor. So a person possessing talent should take full advantage of it rather than hiding it in a closet . A really great talent finds its happiness in execution. All of us strive to achieve the seven letter word SUCCESS and talent is one of the basic needs to achieve success. So friends Open up, discover yourself and realize if Talent works, genius creates. Therefore Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?
