In life there are many people with artistic talent but few who take the
time to develop the talent and become artists. Many people have
poetic notions but few become poets. In business it is the
same. Only few people develop their business ideas and become
entrepreneurs. Few become the business genius and without them
there would be little growth or progress. Those with creative
ideas are rewarded for their genius in capitalistic countries with
wealth. If that were all there was to it we would all be
elitists. We would say to hell with everybody else. Only the
genius is important. The author, Ayn Rand, was of this
opinion. Yet it is the laboring man who makes the conceptions of
the genius possible. Without chemists,engineers, carpenters, and
all other laboring people, the genius would experience no substance to
his ideas. Ideas must be en-fleshed to produce
results. We need to recognize the mutuality and the togetherness
aspect of life to foster respect for people with different levels of
talent. It is by appreciating differences without degrading
one or the other that makes businesses and people succeed. Be a
team player and avoid jealousy or conceit and everyone can move forward
both at work and at home as well.
