Why A Genius Is So Rare?

Why a genius is so rare?
Because it’s needed time and luck for that person to find his true talent
It is needed chance and hard work to explore his hidden talent
It is needed good and understanding to accept his unique talent

If a man has talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded and has a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know.

Obviously you have to have talent in order to play so you can't overlook that, but we won't overlook the character issue when it comes to talent because if they have talent and they don't have character, it's going to be very difficult to coach that person.

They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.

My Choice, Will Heaven Complain?

If heaven will complain
I don't know,
Endowed so much i am.

My many talents and outfits
Passions me in confusion
Stirring me to see as destiny.
But talent i know is not destiny
Talent, gift of nature nurtured by environ
Destiny, gift of nature nurtured by divinity.
Hands can thwart talent, but
The tick tack of clock even stop
Can't thwart destiny
No matter the weather.
It is inborn, you, yourself, yoursoul.

I don't care if family complain
For my choice,
But i don't know
If heaven will complain.

This your gift

She said that each one in the world
has a special talent: what we’re better at,
than anybody else… so, it’s a glorious gift,
- a glorious duty - to know, acknowledge, this;

but what happens, so she said,
is that we know this, and deny it;
but then if pressed somehow, we make
a condition for ourself: ‘well, only if…’
and this – the devil in the detail – is a way
to lock our talent in; to keep the world without…

I said to her, an instance? and she said,
this man, he had a gift: to be always
in the rightest place, and at the rightest time;
but when this was revealed to him, he said,
OK but only if I can give up my job..
but it was his job, she said, enabled him
to manifest that talent…

Eulogy For Michael Jackson

All of the glory, all of the fame
everybody knew his name.
But they did not know what made him tick.
And they did not know how it made him sick.
Inside the body that housed his soul
were shades of darkness that accompanied his role.
The vibrancy and talent of all he could do
was a gift that only comes to a few.
But the gift must be nourished and never abused
or it turns into a curse that becomes misused
by all of the parasitic leeches who prey
on a talent like Michael's every single day.

And in the final words that are said
He, my friends was already dead.
Dead in his spirit, dead in his mind
only alive in those who could find
the rarity of talent that captured their heart,
the oneness with God that flowed through his art.
What they will remember is what they did see.

A Lovely Take

Today is the gift and tomorrow will be the talent,
Since yesterday was the birth of your muse on this love;
And i am about to make a switch to express y mind,
For money cannot buy my talent.

One warm afternoon with a lovely take,
And of this real world which is outside me;
But the poet of this poem is unknown by many!
And like riding a bicycle along side a car driver,
For the mind of the writer will surely touch the hearts of many.

Gold, cocoa, timber, bauxite, manganese and diamond!
And like a diplomatic gaffe in the midst of abundance;
But the fool is still hungry in the land of plenty.
This is like a paradigm shift but,
What went wrong with these resources?
And i better pilot my plane than riding a horse to your country.

This world is full of hopes and dreams,
And like the sweet fruits of success!

Talent

How do we react and over come crisis?
Is there any document or written thesis?
It is purely positive thinking and talent
One has to seize opportune time, act or relent

It is God gift and purely mind’s production
Ideas shape in formation with induction
Its presentation is rare with application
Can’t be countered with dubious means or duplication

Everyone is taken by surprise or mesmerized
Its skillful execution is never organized
It is instant and comes as pure response
Rich layout of words in correspondence

Neither one can claim or inherit from parent
Nor it can be exhibited in any one particular event
It has its own merit and offer splendid show
Clear cut advantage as seen with river’s flow

Rhyme of Sachin Tendulkar

Thou' Cricket is not religion;
Sachin is our god,
Thou' British are Founder,
Sachin is invader.
We owned India,
British conquered it;
British owned Criket,
Sachin conqered it.
Talent sticks to that precious diomond,
Just like magnet sticks to iron.
Talent and efforts in practice matches,
Made king of international cricket.
Neither difficulties nor attraction,
Each fails in bending Tendulkar,
Whether it is fast-track of South Africa
Or Green top of Newzealand,
Sachin mesmerized all Indians by his performence on these land.
Never lost his courage
Whatever difficulties came in Carrier,
Face all difficulties by himself encouraging,
