Is wasted talent. At least according to Sonny in the movie “A Bronx Tale”. But I agree. Being giving a gift and not using it is a very sad thing. Speaking of gifts, after reading my last entry, my friend Sterling sent over this quote that really summarized the whole thing:

“The weakest among us has a gift, however seemingly trivial, which is peculiar to him, and which worthly used, will be a gift to his race forever” – Author Unknown

In other words, we all have something that if valued and properly used, will be of benefit to us as well as the world as a whole.

Random Sidebar: I’ve found that when I write, I tend to go into every detail of my main point as opposed to just getting straight to the point. People can say in a sentence what takes me three pages to say. I’m a firm believer in overkill simply because it leaves little room for excuses. If you call a person and say “I’m having a party Friday, come through”, there’s a chance they won’t know what their attending means to you. However, my approach would be to tell them every detail about the party and the importance of why I’m inviting them. Now if they don’t show up, I know we have an issue. I’m all about eliminating grey areas in life and overdoing EVERYTHING is how I go about that.
