Putting Your Talent to Work: Rediscovering the Real You in You

Publisher Marketing: What sets one apart from the crowd is his talent. Simply put your talent is your uniqueness. It is what distinguishes individuals. I believe if you are not different, then you are not needed. Life is a just employer and your talent is the tool with which you work the works of life. Your talent is the weapon of your placement in life. That is why Proverbs 22: 29 says "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men." The starting point in the roadmap to success is the identification of your inert ability. It's what is inside a man that he displays on the outside. Everyman is at his best doing what he is designated for. Many youths are lost in this wilderness called life. Putting Your Talent to Work tries to make them know who they are, where they are and where they are going. In fact the book sets out to give them the sense of identity, helping them to rediscover themselves, where they are now and where they ought to be by virtue of their life purpose and goals. A child without knowledge of his life purpose and goals is like a boat on a high sea without rudder or compass. When pushed onto the water and the wind blows, all you see is the vast body of oceans and sky in every direction. Suddenly, you realize what big trouble you are in. This is true of the youth out there without a focus. When the youth goes out without an anchor to keep him firmly rooted and planted against the winds of life, he either gets blown away or depends on someone else.
