The Importance of Being Talented (and to be Discovered and Nurtured)

Last Thursday, I had the privilege to attend and watch a play entitled, ‘The Irony of Matrimony’. It was successfully staged for 3 days starting from 8_ 10 December 2011. I really enjoyed the play simply because it was fun and hilarious. The cast did a really good job.

But the play is not main thing to be discussed here. I was smiling while watching the play because I was happy that my friends on the stage managed to unleash their real talent; a thing that we don’t even know that we have until someone comes and discovers it for us.

Being talented alone is not enough. We must have someone to discover and nurture it for us. I am glad that the three combinations were so apparent throughout the whole running of the production.

While the usual convention expects these young minds to sit alone in their rooms and study, I believe that the whole production was a medium of learning too albeit it is viewed from a different perspective. I believe that the whole process was a lot more meaningful as the knowledge gained cannot be found in any textbook.

This post is rather short and simple, yet it reminds us about the need to discover and nurture those young minds who are hungry for new knowledge and challenge.

A play or a drama is just a medium. As long as we extend our most sincere help to those talented strangers, I am quite sure that our world will become more colourful.
