Inventions In Your Mind = Imagination At Work!

Imagination is not a talent of some men, 

but is the health of every man. 

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

God, Man, Self...

Talent is God given, 

Be humble. 

Fame is man-given, 

Be grateful. 

Ego is self-given, 

Be careful.

Talent is God-given...

Be Humble / 

Fame is Man-given...

Be Thankful / 

Conceit is Self-given...

Be Careful.

REAL Talent vs. Modesty...or does it?

You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.
 ~ Louisa May Alcott

Like her character, "Jo March" in Little Women, young Louisa was a tomboy.  "No boy could be my friend till I had beaten him in a race," she claimed, "and no girl if she refused to climb trees, leap fences ..."

For Louisa, writing was an early passion.  She had a rich imagination and often her stories became melodramas that she and her sisters would act out for friends.  Louisa preferred to play the "lurid" parts in these plays --"the villains, ghosts, bandits, and disdainful queens."

At age 15, troubled by the poverty that plagued her family, she vowed:   "I will do something by and by.  Don’t care what, teach, sew, act, write, anything to help the family; and I’ll be rich and famous and happy before I die, see if I won’t!

Share Your Talents With Others!

“Use what talents you possess;
the woods will be very silent 
if no birds sang there 
except those that sang best.”
- Henry van Dyke

Creativity is a gift your share with others!

There is a fountain of youth: 

It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life…

~Sophia Loren
