AN EYE FOR A TALENT

An Eye for a Talent ~ 169 ~ brilliance was appreciated by one and all. But to appreciate his talent when he was just an ordinary student, when all his greatness was still hidden in the future, was an extremely difficult thing to do yet G.D.Birla did it, and that is why his name is high on the list of the architects of modern India. This quality displayed by Mr. Birla, not only raises individuals to greatness; it also has a great part to play in the national uplift. If there are appreciative and sympathetic people like Birla in a nation, one can rest assured that the talent of its youth will not die out. Talented young people can hope to be provided with all they need to cultivate their latent potential. But if there is no one who appreciates talent in this way, then the only people to advance themselves in society will be those who happen to secure some high official position; and clearly no nation can have more than a few such positions to offer.
