Surprise Talents
Have you ever had that experience when you discover that someone you thought you knew pretty well turns out to have an exceptional talent? By that, I mean it is the kind of talent that isn’t obvious in their everyday life. It could be in such areas as impressive artistic ability, an extraordinary dancer, a magical singing voice, or remarkable sporting prowess. It comes as some surprise, doesn’t it?
My first such experience was of making friends with a guy at Sixth Form College. I got to know him over a couple of months. But then, one day, he mentioned that his band was doing a gig at the college the next week.
“You’re in a band?!” I exclaimed. “Why did I not know this about you? It would have been the first thing I would have expected you to tell me.”
