If I had to tell you how humans made their way to Earth, it would go like this: In the beginning, there was nothing at all but the moon and the sun. And the moon wanted to come out during the day, but there was something so much brighter that seemed to fill up all those hours. The moon grew hungry, thinner and thinner, until she was just a slice of herself, and her tips were as sharp as a knife. By accident, because that is the way most things happen, she poked a hole in the night and out spilled a million stars, like a fountain of tears. Horrified, the moon tried to swallow them up. And sometimes this worked, because she got fatter and rounder. But mostly it didn't, because there were just so many. The stars kept coming, until they made the sky so bright that the sun got jealous. He invited the stars to his side of the world, where it was always bright. What he didn't tell them, though, was that in the daytime, they'd never be seen. So the stupid ones leaped from the sky to the ground, and they froze under the weight of their own foolishness. The moon did her best. She carved each of these blocks of sorrow into a man or a woman. She spent the rest of her time watching out so that her other stars wouldn't fall. She spent the rest of her time holding onto whatever scraps she had left. Jodi Picoult
About This Quote

Humans are the only species that developed. There are other animals on earth but they are not developed, humans are. If you do not understand me, you are not human. We all have talents I’m sure.

But if you don’t have a plan to use them, you are not human. I’m sure there are some people who are born great at something, but most of us aren’t. Most of us have to work hard at many things.

It is our luck that we were born in a place that has the resources to educate us and feed us so that we can grow into our talents. The ones who have talent may have great luck to have great teachers, good guides and parents who encourage them every single day. If you do not have these things you will never know your talents or what you can do with them.
