Talented people

Post 115 Talents make a country great

Many educational reports have singled out Finland and South Korea as exemplary countries which have invested with impact in education. The high quality manufactured products of mobile phones, cars and digital devices of these two nations reflect the high attainment levels of their education systems. Singapore as an island state has also produced top class universities, together with Hong Kong where top notch universities are also found.

Talents are what make a country great. It is therefore very unwise for any country to want to allow brain-drain to take place. In doing so, the development of the country will be hampered. Wealth can be distributed in any way, but not talents. Wealth can be passed on from one pocket to another, but not talents. Talents are nurtured through education, training and perseverance. It takes time and effort for talents to be fully developed and recognized.

A talented person is head-hunted for his ingenuity. He is thus offered high position, attractive remunerations, and a working environment that allows him to exploit his potentials. For a country to remain competitive, it needs talented people to create innovative plans to bring the country forward.

If we never have had, we never miss. Mediocrity never have had, it never misses the geniuses in a talented person. Hence, “Over and over again mediocrity is promoted because real worth isn't to be found.” (Kathleen Norris Quotes)
