67. I can become an actor, because I think that I am talented. Intention: are you afraid of failure in an ordinary profession? Redefinition: there are few assumptions about your dubious abilities. Separation: you are only good at one role, and the rest... Unification: everything is so

Many years have passed
Since then, Nikita has seen many people, smart and stupid, rich and poor, beautiful and ugly.
Gradually, on the basis of acquired experience, he divided all of humanity into two, very unequal parts.
1.Talented people.
2.People are not particularly talented or have lost their talent..
and the abyss lies between them.
How are they different?
Yes to everyone!
Power in the world belongs to people of the second category, there are a thousand times more of them, they are more manageable, their values ​​are clear, as are the ways to achieve them.
But without talented people, progress is impossible.
Only they are capable of creating values ​​that are a bridge between the past and the future.
Only they are able to leave a memory of themselves that will survive centuries.
Talent can be scary.
Gifted politicians and military leaders will send millions to their deaths without blinking an eye; scientists, without thinking about the consequences, will invent a bomb, a tank, a grenade.
Is the talent worth the rivers of blood shed? Was it really impossible for all the Alexanders of Macedon, Napoleons, Lenins, and Stalins to live without leaving mountains of corpses behind them?
On the other hand, the rule of mediocrity (see Nicholas 2) mowed down not much less people.
Still, the most comfortable area for using talent is art.

Georg Hegel

Music, paintings, poems show the way to beauty without sacrificial blood.
Of course, we cannot do without problems here, but these problems relate to to a greater extent, the creator himself, than those around him.
But he doesn't notice the problems.
He lives in a world created exclusively for him alone.
In a world where there is its own time, its own reality, its own values.
He doesn’t really care that in the eyes of those around him he’s a black sheep.
That his activities do not bring any material income, much less fame and respect.
Van Gogh sold one painting during his lifetime, Nietzsche published 40 copies of “Thus Says Zarathustra” with his own money and tried to distribute them to friends; there was no talk of any fabulous circulation or grandiose sales.
Can they be called losers?
From a primitive philistine point of view - of course.
For a talented person there can be no other choice.
After all, the main thing for him is to express what is hidden deep inside, what others are not always able to understand, what occupies a dominant place in his life.

The surest guarantee of mastery -
Don't recognize your own perfection.
William Shakespeare

You can't make a good shopkeeper out of Van Gogh, or a good merchant out of Leonardo, and you shouldn't waste time trying to teach Muhammad Ali how to cross-stitch.
Suum cuique (lat.) – To each his own.
Life is given to a person to find it, the sooner the better.
Find your purpose and try to realize it as much as possible.
It seems nothing complicated.
But why does this happen to only a few out of thousands?.............

Hello, Dmitry! I will object somewhat. Art can also be vague, aimed at a narrow, select circle. Probably, indeed, “the most comfortable area for using talent is art.” It's comfortable. For personal expression. Although, there are accompanying moments of “painful searches”, monotonous work, rejection, lack of money, the same improvement of life, and finally not understanding. But not all talents lived like Van Gogh, like Niko Pirosmani. And there were others who were quite prosperous in everyday life. They gave, for example, Pushkin, Makovsky, and many... And what does happiness, talent and certainly finding oneself in art have to do with it? What about talented surgeons? What is called from God? And what about talented pilots, and the same talented (often unknown) goldsmiths and embroiderers, whose works, along with the canvases of artists, are also kept in museums and are no less valuable in their significance? And what? Let them do cross stitch. But how! Why didn't you mention them? And outstanding travelers, athletes, biologists, naturalists... And simply talent - to give oneself to others. For example, talented, strong-willed, selfless rescuers? And what about the talent of a teacher, without which there might not have been geniuses? What about your mother's talent? It’s also not given to everyone. And just the talent to love and be loved? Why have you belittled everyone else so much? Even the talent of the cook. Why humiliate him? What the sophisticated elite gasps at cannot always even be called a work of art. Often, fashion simply dictates and... delight begins. Talent is diverse in its manifestations. I don’t think that it manifests itself “in just a few.” To be honest, quite often, these very (not all of course) “units” you mentioned have advanced thanks to successful business connections. Isn't that right? How many are unknown? Which, again, only talented researchers know about... Of course, there were those who were persecuted during life, who were “found” after death. He is a different talent. And there are plenty of manifestations of it.
“For a talented person there can be no other choice.
After all, the main thing for him is to express what is hidden deep inside, what others are not always able to understand, what occupies a dominant place in his life."
But this doesn’t only concern art!
Isn’t the main thing for a person of art to be heard? Isn’t the main thing for him to “express what is hidden deep inside”? This applies to almost everyone. If only there was someone who would listen, someone you could trust. There is another talent - to hear what is inside another and help him express himself, not to break down, not to be left alone with his pain. Maybe this talent is the most important...

“Art has as its task to reveal truth in a sensual form.”
But, you know, not all feelings need to be made public. There are, after all, perverted ones. Why infect others with a sometimes destructive disease? People of art should also have responsibility. Gogol said this very well. His words apply to poets, but I think this can apply to any talent: “A poet in the field of words must be as impeccable as anyone else in his field...” And what is truth? Not always in beauty. Well, not terrified either. Most likely in luminosity... More... about sensuality. And, you know, as N.S. put it. Gumilyov in one of his letters? "Purity is suppressed sensuality and it is beautiful, but the absence of sensuality is frightening, like an unheard-of form of debauchery..."
I think that true talent does not stick out, realizing how endless the path to perfection is and how many people follow this difficult path.
Probably the main thing: “that I awakened good feelings in people... and called on mercy for the fallen...”
“It is not always possible for others to understand” But write, draw, depict, make it so that everyone can understand: from a child to a wise old man! So that both the baby and the old man would close their eyes against the light and would want to take it into their souls... This is talent. Otherwise... "And the king is naked"
Congratulations!

Another lesson in the Psychology program as part of the socially significant project “Comfortable and safe life socially vulnerable segments of the population through constructive dialogue with authorities and effective public control in Rostov region» implemented by ROO NWPT "Volga-Don" with funds Presidential grant in accordance with the order of the President Russian Federation dated 04/01/2015 No. 79-rp, agreement No. 162/2015/2, was devoted to how class participants determine their talent, as well as to pass a personality test.

Psychologist Irina Novoselova invited the program participants to tell what talents each of them has. All people are talented in some way. Some people know how to sew and cook, others can teach drawing. It is equally important to be able to seek justice, or convince someone of something, to be a “vest,” to be able to be needed and help others. Being a good wife and a good mother is also a talent that incorporates many components. The word talent comes from the Greek word "talent", which denoted a monetary unit in ancient times. There is a biblical parable about talent. It tells how a certain gentleman, going to long journey, gave his slaves coins (talents). One is five, another is two, and the third is one. The first two slaves invested money in the business and increased it by the same amount. The third slave did not work, but buried his talent in the ground. Having arrived, the master praised two slaves, but kicked out the third and gave his coin to another. From this parable it came catchphrase: "Bury your talent." This is how we receive our talents - some less, some more. Our task is to develop and increase talents, and not bury them in the ground. Next, psychologist Irina Novoselova invited program participants to take the “House-Tree-Person” (HTP) test. This is one of the most famous projective techniques personality research. It was proposed by J. Book in 1948. It was proposed to draw a house, a tree and a person. Then everyone heard an interpretation of the pictures depicted. After all, a drawing can say a lot about emotional state person. The interaction between the house, the tree and the person is believed to represent a visual metaphor. If you put the whole drawing into action, then it is quite possible to notice what is really happening in our lives. A special way of interpretation may be the order in which the drawing of the house, tree and person is made. If a tree is drawn first, it means that the main thing for a person is vital energy. If the house is drawn first, then safety, success, or, conversely, neglect of these concepts come first. Home Pay attention to home - this is an attitude towards yourself. If he is large and handsome, then the person loves himself, but if he is away, then he feels abandoned. If instead of a house there is a top view, a projection, then the person big problems. If the house is closed, there are no windows or doors - isolation, inaccessibility. Steps going not to the door, but to a blank wall - conflict situation. If the house does not have a lower line, it comes from below - the person has weak contact with reality, but if this line is too bright - difficulties and anxiety. If the lateral contours are thin - a feeling of danger. If a one-dimensional perspective is depicted, from the front to the side, the person is alienated from those around him. If there are no doors, the person is closed. If they are on the side, he is retreating or detached. And if the doors are open - a sign of frankness, a desire for warmth from the outside. If the doors are too large - dependence on others, and if they are small - isolation (as with a large lock). If thick smoke comes out of the chimney - internal inaccessibility, thin - lack of emotional warmth. Open windows indicate straightforwardness and readiness for contacts; closed windows indicate that a person is burdened by communication. The brighter the roof, the stronger man depends on your fantasies. Person The results of the “House-Tree-Man-Tree” test are determined the smallest details. For example, pay attention to the head. If it is large, intelligence is emphasized, small - its absence, unclear - shyness, conflicts are drawn last. At the same time long neck speaks of self-control, and the short one speaks of impulsiveness. The more one facial feature is emphasized, the more important this channel of perception is for a person, and if the chin is emphasized, this is a desire to dominate. Lack of ears means ignoring criticism. If the eyes are small - self-absorption, large ones - rudeness, large eyelashes - flirtatiousness. If the hair is shaded - anxiety, if not - hostility. Large shoulders indicate a craving for power, small ones indicate a feeling of one’s own unimportance. The more angular the body, the more courageous the person. A too small body means humiliation, a large body means unmet needs. The better the limbs are drawn, the more firmly the person stands on the ground and is more ready for action. Tree If the roots are visible in the picture, then the person is overly curious; if they are indicated by a line - the presence of secrets. If the crown is round - emotionality, if the branches are drooping - refusal of effort, in different sides- searching for contacts, spraying. If all the branches are drawn with one line - avoidance of reality. The palm tree speaks of a desire for change, the weeping willow - of a lack of energy. If the trunk is drawn with thin lines, and the crown with thick ones, this indicates a desire to assert oneself and act freely. If the lines are uniform, with pressure - determination and productivity.
