Worth Noting:
- To remain naturally creative in whatever you do you need to research widely, remain active and be talented in the field you are dealing in so that you do not struggle acquiring and mastering new ideas.
- Whenever you are exploring new grounds it is not always that you have a smooth ride and when you do and come up with new ways of conducting operations you do not necessarily remember every detail at once so you need to constantly remind yourself of what are expectations in case you err you either lose time or resources or both. This goes on until that time when you perfect the art.
The misery that oppresses you lies not in your profession but in yourself! What man in the world would not find his situation intolerable if he chooses a craft, an art, indeed any form of life, without experiencing an inner calling?
Whoever is born with a talent, or to a talent, must surely find in that the most pleasing of occupations! Everything on this earth has its difficult sides! Only some inner drive – pleasure, love – can help us overcome obstacles, prepare a path, and lift as out of the narrow circle in which others tread out their anguished, miserable existences!…………………….. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
It is the wish of majority of people to succeed in life. The society too likes successful men and women, respects them and encourages the rest members of the society to follow their steps. Through this followership one becomes a celebrity every action he makes his fans are keenly watching and eager to follow without questions no matter how awkward it may seem.
The field that one has excelled in does not bother the fans whether music, fine arts, academics, politics, performed arts, football or athletics all what excites them is his ability to outdo the rest and become a champion.
In the field of talent one may thrive well but remain poor in other fields for example a football superstar who is a heavy drinker or a musician who is a chain smoker. His fans would wish to behave like him and would like to hear none of criticism towards him.
Some of these subcultures may be out of inability of the star to handle the newly got fame or frustration from unmet goals in other areas of life. Many are times that you find those extremely doing well in a certain field tending to be poor in other areas of life.
To become the best requires some efforts, to retain the top spot amid stiff competition requires extra efforts so there are challenges associated with the great achievements. Those not closer to the achiever may take it for granted but the champion is aware of high expectations from him by the society, need to boost self-esteem hence constant training and observation of current trends to remain relevant.
To remain naturally creative in whatever you do you need to research widely, remain active and be talented in the field you are dealing in so that you do not struggle acquiring and mastering new ideas.
Whenever you are exploring new grounds it is not always that you have a smooth ride and when you do and come up with new ways of conducting operations you do not necessarily remember every detail at once so you need to constantly remind yourself of what are expectations in case you err you either lose time or resources or both. This goes on until that time when you perfect the art.
No matter how good your products may seem to you they need to suit the tastes and preferences of your target clients in case this does not happen you are forced by circumstances to reengineer the product. During such times there is demoralization as you try to fit into someone else conditions which may not be ideal according to you but for the sake of increasing revenue you have to go as per their specifications.
One may be a talented blacksmith whose products are admired by many but dealing with furnace is a risky affair at times he gets bruises during the work at other times some metallic bars falls on him the same case to an athlete in course of training he may fell on the ground and strain his muscles, a musician may strain his voice due prolonged period of singing while a teacher may spend sleepless nights marking tests for his students despite all of them being talented there are sacrifices required for them to do to succeed in their respective areas of specialization.
The rose flowering plant is attractive from near and far but as a protective measure perhaps from herbivores it has thorns so you cannot easily climb up that tree or hold it in every place as the thorns may prick you.
