Our Obsession with Talent by AMAFRAN

Talented would be
how you describe someone like Mozart
who wrote his first symphony at age 4,

or someone like Bobby Fischer
who was a chess grandmaster by 15 years old.

It is said that geniuses get made once-a-century or so,
yet good songs,
⠀⠀good chess moves,
⠀⠀⠀⠀good art,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀good ideas,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀good poems,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀good answers,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀and good discoveries
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀are made by ordinary,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀non-Mozart-like people

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ every single day.
