A "Black Swan Event" is when the unexpected occurs, causing a huge mindshift and change in how the world works. People never imagined that Black Swans existed, until the discovery of the first Black Swan... (as per book "The Black Swan", by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, 2007, that sold over 3 million copies)

Is a perception change the next Black Swan Event? Consider that by changing perception we might change the world. Look at everyday things from different angles. Find beauty in the unexpected... Change our thinking, change our actions, change our world!

See that all people are part of God's puzzle and have something to give. Black swans do exist. The ugly duckling was actually a swan who needed to discover himself and where he fitted and be who he was meant to be. To the last, the lost and the least, you are beautiful as you are. May all who visit this page feel God's touch and experience His blessing...

The Value of Innate Talent

I watch, awestruck, as a young boy sprints effortlessly to the finishing line of a 200 metre race. He hardly seems to be trying, yet he outruns his peers. What is this magical ability called natural talent? Why do some have it, and some don't? Many may want to run, but are found wanting. Many might actually have ability but have no interest in taking their talent further, especially when this might involve rigorous training. Developing a talent may be a lot of hard work! Olympic athletes train for hours and hours each day for one race, one opportunity. Not everyone can be the best. There is only one winner in a race.

When natural talent and passion for an activity merge, dreams can become reality.
