Hardwork or Talent?

What counts more-- hard work or talent?
In the spirit world, God made us different. He gave us different abilities, talents, and character for us to do our own role that can distinguish us from one another. These God-given features in our premortal life were being washed out when we entered the veil of forgetfulness. So, we came here in our mortal life naked and innocent. But God designs this code of life which scientists called DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid, this is a molecule carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known organisms. DNA is a God’s molecule that connects us from our premortal life, we cannot remember who we are before, but it is already in our DNA who we can become here on earth.

None of us is left behind, all of us have given equal opportunity and capabilities for us to live here on earth. God designed us different from each other and the evidence is our DNA, this is for us to function well filling each other’s imperfection. Behind this reality, God also gave us freedom, freedom to choose what we do in life, and how we use our strength and talents to function here on earth. Since we have this agency, it is up to us now on how we can work on developing our talents and other skills.

There’s this very popular musician that suffers autism, he struggles a lot in speaking and cannot control some of his body movements, but he sings and plays the piano very well. A lot of people were amazed and inspired because of his talent. This musician suffers a lot from the judgment of people, that because of his case they cannot see his capabilities. But through his hard work and perseverance, he was able to develop his talent in singing. There are a lot of people who are given a wonderful singing voice, but they fail in the singing industry because they lack hard work and dedication to what they are doing.

Talents are already given, so, it is now our responsibility to nurture it. Nurturing our talents are really hard, we cannot develop it in just one sitting. It takes time, take a look for JK Rowling's success, she has a talent in writing but his work Harry Potter was rejected many times, but she never gives up on developing her talent in writing, she did revisions many times in her works and finally her work published and became one of the most popular stories in the world.

It is not just the talent that counts, what counts more is your hard work. If you are hardworking, people can distinguish your talent. So, never give up! And work hard to develop your God-given talents.

Ghajini: Reflection

We really cannot predict what will happen in our lives the next day. If you are at the upper part of the wheel you cannot say that you'll stagnantly stay there because wheels turn and that' s the best description of life. Always put in your mind that there are always two sides of a coin it emphasizes that all things under the sun have always an opposition, It's between the bad and the good. But after all, God gave us the freedom to choose and gave us the intelligence to decide what are the right things to do. And that is the movie " Ghajini " all about. You will learn to the story that there are decisions that we know it's the right thing to do but as we move on we'll realize that we've thrown a gas into something that is burning. On the other side, you can appreciate how the decision will come out naturally in our minds to do good things. The character of Aamhir Khan " Sanjay "tickled my heart. He was a kind of a man who bo...

HEAVENLY FATHER

Sometimes we wonder if God really exists, we always question His existence in times of our trials that we always say, ‘if there is God why I am suffering all of this agony in my life’. Brothers and sisters, I testify that there is God. Look around you, you can see many beautiful things, in the land, in the water, and in the sky. What a beautiful creation, right? And everything of these is perfectly designed by God. Think about the galaxy, the constellation of stars, and how perfectly our planet earth designed. All we have is theory on how these planets were created, and no one can prove that the universe's existence has naturally occurred. Like the great things we made here on earth, we designed something, we create something because we have this God-given knowledge to put something into existence. Our activities here on earth are enough to prove that there is only one God, who designed, planned and put all the living and all great things into existence. Our Heavenl...

See the Good

               I believe in prophets and leaders and revelations they received, but sometimes I doubted them not only the leaders of higher ranking but also local leaders of the church. This doubt has led me not to trust some leaders of the church and at some point, it had affected me in doing my responsibilities as a member such as paying my tithes, fulfilling my callings, and my personal progress. It’s disappointing when you see leaders who are misled by their personal desire. Sometimes I even doubted if our church is a true church of Jesus Christ because of them.   I talk to one of my classmates in the institute about it and she said sometimes it is easier to see mistakes than good works. I sometimes tell people what she said, and I never told it to myself, hearing from a friend those words have galled me in a positive way, it is so strong. It came in my mind that we are not perfect, even the prophet is still only a human and it is ...
