[Video] Just after morning siren.
[A skate park bordering the industrial sector, by the looks of things. The sun is just beginning to rise over the lip of one of the ramps, and there's no sign of the boy making this post but the toes of his boots, by the way his NV's angled. His voice is a little tired- the worn out that comes after staying up all night, but it looks like he's finally come to a point of clarity- or at least some self-wrestling to lay on ya, Canadian early risers.]
I've been thinking again, but thinking can just take you around in circles if you do it by yourself. So...here I am, network:
"Talent is about the potential to be great at something, but it's useless without exercise and practice, and pushing yourself."
I hear a lot of talk like that thrown around at the stadium, but it doesn't really get under my skin till it starts getting boring just carting around lemonade trays all day. I do it for the munny, but I know it's probably a waste of talent, if I've got the potential to be something better. It doesn't take so much talent in anything (besides stairs-endurance) to do that.
Maybe I'm just restless to make something out of this life I've got.
But Namine's going to a school to improve her talent...and here I am doing two jobs to make sure she can do that. I guess it's all right with me, that's she's happy too, but it's frustrating to feel like...like...I'm tired of feeling like I'm wasting myself. I'm tired of seeing how much harder these players work at- and how much it matters to people, to hundreds and hundreds of people every day, that they're great at playing these stupid games.
So there's got to be something out there that I've got to get better at.
Mr. Cohen says that discipleship is kind of like apprenticeship, really. It's about working on your ability with a coach- a promise to take your talent as far as it can go, together. Training on your own, you can only get your talent so far...then you hit a "plateau"- that's when sharpening your stuff with a master helps you along further.
A promise is something important...something you decide on and be serious about, but it's hard to hold onto too many of them at once. And committing to it takes a serious decision, if you really respect someone who offers to be your maestro, or coach, or- No matter if it's sports, or doing art....not that I'm so sure my talent's in either one of those things.
But when you've really got a talent, if somebody tells you you've got it, you should know it in your heart, right?
