“I don’t have the talents of my parents”
said the man.

How do you know if you have inherited
the talents of your parents?

Think of a kid playing basketball with his talented parents.

After couple of setbacks in plays
he may have a new belief.

Will the child say
“I am not as good as them so I can not be as talented!”

What will the child do when he grows up?

He believes that he is not as talented as his parents.

Talents require incubation.

Like a seed that requires nourishment and light to grow.

As a child we were very receptive
of criticism and negative feedback.
We took it as absolute truth about our talent.

Talent can not be incubated with the
viruses of doubt and comparison.

How do you know you have not inherited
your ancestor’s talents?

What do you have to lose by
working to develop some talent
that you believe you do not have?

Think of what you can gain.
