There is an Aeshop’s fable that goes like this:

“A fox passed through a vineyard. It saw the the grapes and wanted to eat some because they looked delicious. But they were high hanging. She jumped and jumped, but to no avail. Exhausted she finally left saying, ‘Well anyway they were not ripe for eating’.”

That is exactly what you express when you tend to believe what you have written in your article. “If I can’t reach something, then it does not exist.”

In fact every humasn has a talent, or an inclination and you have yours. You surely need to work hard on it, but you will do it gladly because it will be what you are. That is talent: your real nature, the real you. That is why EVERYONE has to know their inclinations and talents, because it is what they are. THEN and only then you can work hard with it, without it being a chore.

And even if you don’t become successful or widely known (which is not the real goal here), you will — at least — be happy, which is the true goal of life.

As Einstein said: “If you take a fish off the water and tell it that it should climb trees, it will feel like an idiot and a failure”.

That is exactly the problem with our current education system and the sytem of beliefs, principles and ethics of the globalization era.
