From GapingVoid:
“Hardly a morning goes by these days without me hearing some story…about American economic woe…
The Great Convergence is upon us, and our friend, the Internet is accelerating the process…
The good news is, if you have a talent, the world wants it, and it has never been so easy to show your talent to the world…
The bad news is, especially for us fat & lazy Americans, is that the great, century-long era of Prosperity-on-Autopilot is over…
The world still wants serious talent. And it still wants people doing the grunt work: pushing mops, digging ditches, waiting tables, answering phones, flipping burgers etc…
Learn how to work hard, work long hours. Find something you love, and then excel at it. Above all else, learn how to create, learn how to invent. That’s your only hope, really.

And for those like me who may not have the talent but excel at discerning talent, our hope and pleasure rests in reading the talented urgings of others…:-) Happy Tuesday David

Great post! Have a related lesson. The “rewards” for hard work might not look like I originally expected, or arrive when I expect them. But, interestingly enough, they always arrive, and when they do, I’m always grateful that I put in the effort.
