The opportunities of life
Friday 4th August 2006
Today has proved to be very interesting for a whole entirety of reasons.
It was not to far into the day when I was asked to do an interview in regard to Australian swimmmer Ian Thorpe who has recently set up home in the Holywood Hills and from the media perspective not doing to much (reportedly) in as far as the training side of things are concerned.
The next minute I was sitting with my son and watching the Pink Floyd DVD pulse.
Now both of these situations got me thinking about talent and the need to respect the talent we have and to make the most of it.
Yes Ian Thorpe is a talented athlete, Dave Gilmour and the boys from Pink Floyd are talented musicians. But we all have our own talents. Having it is one thing and respecting it is totally another.
Those that respect their talent make sure they do what they can to fully develop that talent and in the process stop it from being wasted.
Regardless of the area of your talent make sure you do what you can each and everyday to respect it and in the process gain the most from it.
