Talent denotes intellectual ability; skill in accomplishing; a special gift in business or art. To be of any value the talent must be developed and used. We are not born with great talents, but may be endowed with the possibility of their easy development. Their value depends upon how used. Talent can be used for destructive purposes as well as for constructive purposes. The first consideration to give to Natural talent is to see that it is linked with good judgment and kept directed in constructive channels. None are possessed with such genius and talent that they can succeed in endeavor without an element of judgment to be steered by. There is no monopoly on talent and many are capable of developing a kind of talent if the means are only found. Schools are to pave the way in helping discover it. Constant observation, much reading, meditation, and reflection help point the way.

This book was originally written and published in 1936 as “A Minute A Day”, the author, L.L.Castetter, was by all accounts a man driven to learn as many things about life as possible in order to live a more productive and fulfilling life.

About the Author
I know little of the life of the original author L.L.Castetter, research showed that he was born in
A friend that showed me the book in the late 1990’s wanted to see about getting a newer copy as his had been in his truck for some years and was now beat up and missing it’s cover. I was impressed and was also trying to locate a copy for myself as well.
I found out that very few copies had been printed originally, there were only three other copies to be found and they were in school libraries. The only way I can ever make good on my promise to provide Dave a new book, and allow more people to read it is to re-print the book.
I had become unable to work at my life long profession which was as a Lithographer, more
commonly known as a printer, due to the onset of Multiple Sclerosis. The illness while being some-thing one would rather not have, does allow the person afflicted more free time, the catch is you lose your energy! It has taken me the better part of six years, but a promise is a promise.
