Talent can be a nice thing to have sometimes. You look good, attract attention, and if youre lucky, you make some money. Women flock to you. In that sense, having talents preferable to having none. But talent only functions when its supported by a tough, unyielding physical and mental focus. All it takes is one screw in your brain to come loose and fall off, or some connection in your body to break down, and your concentration vanishes, like the dew at dawn.[]If talents the foundation you rely on, and yet its so unreliable that you have no idea whats going to happen to it the next minute, what meaning does it have?
