Within each and every person are valuable aptitudes. These are gifts that all of us were born with, and they are the seeds of precious talents. With these talents we can beautify the world, each of us in our own unique way. However, these aptitudes must first be discovered, after which they then need to be groomed and developed into talents. For this to occur all of us need skillful teachers and mentors to guide us through life. As we then develop and employ our talents to beautify the world we become like artists and a wonderful thing happens: The people we encounter respect us for the beauty we contribute, regardless of our race, gender or back-ground. This book is devoted to explaining these principles of life. You may have heard the expression making the complex simple. While the concepts just described can at first appear somewhat baffling and perhaps unbelievable, they can be clarified and more easily understood through unique methods of explanation. In this book they are presented in the form of word paintings that are provided in a series of mental art galleries. You will discover that these word paintings make frequent use of analogies that actually do make seemingly complex ideas easy to comprehend.
