Flow of thoughts

I thought of my chance to con­duct a sem­i­nar at an event has been given to some­one else recently. The rea­son that has been explained to me was that “the audi­ence expects white face”. It sur­prised me, and I remem­bered what Colin Pow­ell wrote in his auto­bi­og­ra­phy: I am not going to let some­one crip­ple me just because I was not given the entire field to play in. I was going to do my best in the area that’s been given me. I will show them. It occured to me, right now, all I have to show are short list of solid work­place cre­ation projects. If I had a long list of daz­zling suc­cesses, pub­lished work, no one will even talk about the option of bring­ing in a “white face”. Who is the hero? We all are. As long as we ful­filled our capac­ity, liv­ing the life given to us, in cir­cum­stances all so var­ied, with all we have.
