Mark Twain told a wonderful story about one man’s search for the world’s greatest general. The man spent an entire lifetime looking for the general and finally the day for his last journey. When he arrived in heaven he walked over to St. Peter and said, “I’m looking for the world’s greatest general.”
St. Peter said, “I know, we’ve been expecting you and I have good news. If you’ll look over right over there, you will see the world’s greatest general.”
The old man excitedly looked over and said, “That is not the world’s greatest general. That man was a cobbler on Main Street in my hometown!”
St. Peter responded, “But had he been a general, he would have been the greatest general ever.”
The moral of the story is that sometimes you need someone else to tell you who you are and what you are capable of. There is a hidden talent in all of us – the unpolished gem. Go discover it!!!
If I do not have any wisdom to offer, be rest assured that I'll offer you my ignorance.
