The Price for Talent

How does one measure talent? Definitely not with a measuring tape or cup.......
How does one honor talent? Not by monetary rewards but the recognition for the hard work helps.
Talent is not something you can learn from a textbook or from selfhelp tape.
It has to be inborn and when time allows and the surrounding is willing......
does one grow to greatness.....
Like diamonds in the rough.......
that was formed from the extreme conditions of hot molten lava.
extracted to be cut and polished to perfection ,
so its greatness and shine will last for eternity.
A diamond is priceless...... so is talent!
