Uncover Your Talents
Fanny Brice
Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you? ~ Fanny Brice

Different people have different duties assigned to them by nature; Nature has given one the power or the desire to do this, the other that. Each bird must sing with his own throat. ~ Anonymous
George Bernard Shaw
If you go to heaven without being naturally talented for it, you will not enjoy it there. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Dean Kamen
… [I have] a vision of a day when brains become as celebrated in America as brawn . . . that sports [will] remain merely as passtimes and that the world needs the smarts of young people to tackle larger problems. Clean water, clean air, health care, getting people out of ignorance and poverty –
– that’s important. ~ Dean Kamen,inventor (as quoted in the Washington Post)
Peter Sellars
In America, there’s this giant gulf between art and life. It’s not part of the ongoing texture of things, something we could encounter when we go to the supermarket. Instead, art is this bizarre thing with people wearing costumes in Lincoln Center. It’s all these people watching while all these other people are doing. ~ Peter Sellars
Buckminster Fuller
Quite cleary nature did not tell the honeybee to go out and crosspollinate the vegetation. What nature did was to genetically program the honeybee to go after the honey and inadvertently crosspollinate . . . What nature told humanity (genetically) was, I’m hungry, my kids are hungry; I’m cold, my kids are cold. Go after that food and coat. They cost money–go after the money. They say you have to earn it. OK, I’ll earn it. Buzz, buzz, honey-money bee. No human genes are programmed to say– go make the world work for everybody– only your creative mind can tell you that. ~ Buckminster Fuller
