Talent and Civilization

I have noticed that many students In colleges and universities are not sure about what to major. I did the same thing while I was undergraduate.

I have helped number of students using Keirsey Temperament Sorter in which I am professionally certified to administer and interpret, get some general ideas on what their talents are and what majors demand their use on frequent basis. You know what happens when talent is used, it becomes better, after all practice practice, people say, makes you perfect.

The notion that one has an aptitude or something he is suited for to do and should one do that, one has better chance of living and living well, is as old as human civilization itself, labor division. Plato thought, in the republic, this will solve the crisis In the Hellenic world.

Hindus did the same, the caste system. It was originally meant to be talent based phenomena, as Bhagavad Gita verse confirms, and it developed, unfortunately into something else.


I said to myself, why have I not pursued this with more vigor ? I will In due time.
