It could be at Robinson Crusoe’s Island
Except it is not
We thought that we need to go to some distant, famous place with a pristine sea
But this is a 2 hours drive from home
Often one does not look in one’s backyard
Where the gem lies
Often we think that the greener pasture is far far away
But there it lies within our reach
It is so with ourselves
We admire others’ talents
When we are unique, each in our own way
One just need to look within for your latent gift
Excavate, evaluate and expand
And be amazed at yourself
For you are the Pristine Sea.
So, the grass is always greener on the other side is only a matter of perspective of an individual
Actually, the best gem is still in your own backyard as you now realised .
While you admire the talents in others , now you are aware of your own talent pools, which you have discovered that there is abundance of them, the talents for which you are well endowed with , as you seek to develop them to their fullest potentials, better late than never .
As they say, the best wine is normally served first , however it was recorded that the vintage wine was served last at the wedding in Cana according to the Book.
