Last time I was thinking about uniqueness. Despite many opposite opinions, I believe originality is a standard occurrence.
Everyone has talent. The main problem is to discover it in oneself. Later on, it is much harder to cultivate and develop it. Why? Because you still did not find it. I believe that practically all people possess a hidden ability, some “secret power.” We all are unique. Luckily, we still did not reach a level in genetic engineering to project and program superheroes’ newbies. I hope that this science-fiction vision will never be real. Giving birth to a child with a genetically modified DNA code, thanks to which parents would know that their child will be talented in basketball or playing the piano, would be an absolute nightmare to all of us.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I believe that all people possess one’s true uniqueness and talent.
Nevertheless, some will never find out in what field they got talent. It all depends on the places and times when someone was born. For example, if someone was born into a family of peasants in medieval Russia, there was a high possibility that such a human would never develop his photographic skills (even if he was predisposed to be a famous worldwide photographer). Why? Because someone was born at the wrong time and the wrong place. As we all know, the camera is an invention of the XIX century, not XIII. Thus, I think there will always be people born without any chance to use one’s talent for a broadly defined humankind.
Of course, the immediate environment (family, school, etc.) also significantly impacts whether people will use their talent.
Nevertheless, we all should seek our unique voice and inner talent to develop it. Let us focus as much as possible on finding and growing our passion. I am convinced that it’s worth doing it.
