Speaker 1 (29:25):
Run my day h.
Speaker 21 (30:39):
M two gifted not me. Improvement makes straight roads, but
the crooked roads without improvement are the roads of genius.
William Blake. The world in which we live is, indeed
(31:00):
eat an extraordinary place. Out of every generation and culture,
remarkable people with exceptional gifts emerge to truly make a
difference in our lives. In my practice, I see some
of these outstanding individuals in a setting where they are
allowed to be completely candid, though they would never use
the word genius to describe themselves. Peeling away the layers
(31:22):
of the definition of genius reveals a nugget of truth
that is crucial to their self understanding. They may feel
bad about being different, guilty or not having lived up
to their own high standards, or like frauds who are
not nearly as smart as other people think. Nonetheless, their
keenness of mind shines through their veneer of denial, and
(31:44):
their genius, once liberated, exerts a strong influence on all
of us. Like a diamond, genius is extremely valuable and
often hidden under the rough edges of an outer layer
of stone. For genius to be truly valuable and useful,
it must be expertly mined and precisely shaped to reveal
its many sparkling facets. Genius is as tough as it
(32:08):
is fragile. Genius is rare enough to be sought after
and revered, though it is not as rare as we think.
History is filled with high achievers. They serve a useful purpose.
They give us something to look up to that is
awe inspiring. They demonstrate just how high the bar of
human accomplishment can be raised. Evidence of the effects of
(32:31):
genius is all around us. Yet throughout history society has
maintained a strange love hate relationship with it. We love
your unique products, just stop being so different. We are
enamored with the idea of genius and admire those who
stand out who create new things to make our lives
(32:54):
richer and easier. We love their creativity and their contributions
to society. Yet all too often we do not love
their unique and intense natures. They're too different. Society would
rather explain them away as eccentrics, or separate these creators
from their creations, cherish the product, chastise the person is
(33:19):
the general rule. The more impertinent and bold the person,
the steeper the climb, the harder the fall if things
go badly, and the hardier the collective laugh. With few exceptions,
we feel better about ourselves when we stereotype and pigeonhole
the brightest and the best. Consequently, what we don't always
(33:41):
see is that nearly all of them are multiply talented
and amazingly diverse, often succeeding at several distinct careers over
the course of a lifetime. From a distance, we can
set the notion of genius upon a pedestal that is
out of reach. Once genius is recognized, the scant room
for shortcomings. We simultaneously set impossibly high standards for what
(34:06):
constitutes genius and then view it as commonplace. When accredited
geniuses create something startlingly new or superb, we think nothing
of it because we have come to expect such feats
from them. After all, we explain to ourselves, if I
had the same talent, the same brains, and the right connections,
(34:26):
I'd be able to do the same thing myself. There's
something about human nature that has always been inclined toward
pushing geniuses off the pedestals upon which we ourselves place them.
We love these exemplars for filling in the blanks of
ordinary life with excitement, curiosity, and passion. Yet we hate
(34:47):
them when we feel inferior in the tall shadow of
their success. It stands to reason that anyone of exceptional
ability must, by nature be equipped to deliver the goods
without much effort.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Does it not?
Speaker 21 (35:01):
Likewise we assume that being who they are and doing
what they do must be easy for them. Is it
fair to make such assumptions? How much do we really
know about genius and geniuses, particularly those who exist far
outside the limelight. Is there more to these individuals than
(35:21):
meets the eye? Who are the real people behind these
outstanding deeds? And what is their world life? Strangely enough,
the life of the everyday genius is a paradox the
inner landscapes and personality traits that make them what they
are have long been kept under wraps. What do we
(35:41):
know about their psychees and inner experience? Research tells us
there is a great deal more to giftedness and intelligence
than we can immediately observe. Until someone moves into the
range of the public eye. For most of us, they
don't exist. Who they were before and what they did
prior to attain recognition is for the most part, a mystery.
(36:03):
It says, if geniuses spring up out of nowhere. Even
though most gifted people have to grow into their genius,
it is present as a seed from the beginning. Something
in them cannot be ignored. Frequently, behind their workday smiles
and greetings lies a question that rarely comes up in
their conversations. Who am I? And what am I doing here?
(36:28):
Most gifted adults were socialized in a way that encouraged
them to dismiss such deep inquiry. Finding answers to their
most profound existential speculations is a task that requires immeasurable
courage and fortitude. It is little wonder a shiver runs
up their spines whenever their minds dare to wander into
(36:50):
such deep woods. There is little support for basic inquiries
into our beingness. Yet These are the very questions that
clients present when they enter my office. Though they truly
long for peace of mind and heart, and crave the
creative lives they imagine for themselves, at the same time,
(37:10):
they want their growth to be smooth so that everyone
around them will continue to like them. They ask themselves,
why is any of this necessary? Even if I wanted
to know my true self and my life purpose, where
and how would I begin? It seems to me the
why question must precede the where and how. In my
(37:33):
years of experience as a psychologist, I have found that
the why presents itself initially to my clients in the
form of pain. It is the cry heard in the
secret hour that makes its way from the recesses of
the inner world into daylight, where the conscious mind can
grapple with it. Regrettably, we live in a society that
(37:54):
has become habituated to the quick fix solutions that are
implied in pathologizing label such as depression, anxiety, bad marriage,
bad job. At times, of course, these classifications are useful,
at least for diagnostic purposes. However, for certain people, such
simplistic identification tags not only miss the point but carry
(38:19):
a heavy price for When categorical thinking is ruled by
surface assumptions, the essential design and character of the personality
and soul are disregarded, depersonalized, and neglected. Such labels and
surface assumptions can frequently cause irreversible damage when applied to
the millions of individuals whose identity centers on high potential,
(38:43):
special talents and gifts of intellect. In many cases, the
final result is that there is something crucial missing from
the who am I? Puzzle? Their real identities continue to
appear on the missing person's list because of a perceptual
gap in their self image. Instead of knowing who they
are and what they're supposed to be doing with their lives,
(39:05):
they are stuck with socialized stampings cataloged than ranked by
faulty criteria. They failed to see their perception of reality
reflected in the world around them. The one critical puzzle
piece they must find in order to ascertain their rightful
place in the universe is this. The promise of high
(39:25):
potential and creative intelligence is accompanied by a specific set
of personality traits and inner processes, not simply more of
some attribute, but an altogether different quality of thinking and
experiencing when put into place, that piece has the power
to change everything. For years, we've labored under the false
(39:48):
assumption that genius is a difference in degree and not
a difference in kind, that genius simply meant more. That's
not the case. Genius is more and it is different.
The vast majority of gifted adults were given poor information
about their essential selves. Indicators of giftedness are subtle and complex,
(40:12):
says Stephanie Tolan, an award winning author of children's books
who also speaks and writes about the challenges unidentified gifted
adults face. Who am I is a question they may
need to ask themselves all over again because the answers
devised in childhood and adolescence were inaccurate or incomplete. The
(40:33):
gifted frequently take their own capacities for granted, believing that
it is people with different abilities who are the really
bright ones. Not understanding the source of their frustration or
ways to alleviate it, they may simply hunker down and
live their lives in survival mode. Indeed, the term gifted
(40:53):
leaves most adults shaking their heads in denial. Not me,
I'm no genius, I could will possibly be gifted? Gifted
not me unidentified everyday genius. Gifted adults are not, as
you may have thought, a tiny group of profoundly brilliant Einstein's. Rather,
(41:17):
they are everyday people of unusual vision who are more
appropriately called everyday geniuses because of one dominant trait, their
ability to give progress push forward. Nevertheless, as gifted and
talented adults, what they have been taught about their idiosyncratic
nature and atypical characteristics is often either incorrect or insulting.
(41:42):
In a society addicted to final products, we have been
brainwashed with the obsolete notion that giftedness is exclusively defined
by academic achievement, fame, and fortune. Even formers, trade a students,
and people who are obvious success stories resist the idea
of acknowledging that their abilities are bonafide. Perhaps the greatest
(42:05):
obstacle to claiming one's gifted identity comes from the modern
Western world's insistence that fairness is bound to sameness, that
the concept of giftedness is elitist. By extension, that more
of us believe that people with special abilities can make
it on their own and need nothing from society to
fulfill their potential. As a result, some people shy away
(42:29):
from their giftedness because they have been taught to believe
that such a claim would be arrogant, given the fact that,
in their experience, being smart sometimes meant being left out,
what other conclusion could they draw telltale signs of everyday genius.
Everyday geniuses are everywhere in the world. They are the
(42:53):
ones who can and will look beyond what is obvious
to design the better cards, attach the wheels in new places,
and pull hard to get things moving. Many times they
do so against all odds, and often alone. In the
most basic terms, gifted adults are obviously different to the
untrained eye in fundamental ways. Some everyday geniuses have talents
(43:18):
that are highly specialized for single tract. Others possess broad
ranging potentialities, able to draw from a pool of abilities
to excel in all sorts of things. A handful become
millionaire entertainers, eminent physicians, Pulitzer and Nobel prize winners. Many
more are firefighters, librarians, kindergarten teachers, chefs, and secretaries. Some
(43:44):
are conventional, some eccentric, some shy, some outgoing, some honorable,
some not. Everyday geniuses have regular jobs, families and friends.
They love a good baseball game. Like other people, most
often they are quietly gifted. They come from every culture
(44:05):
and exhibit every type of outward appearance, yet they share
several distinct traits that compel them to be intense seekers
of self actualization who are lured forward by their unshakable
first nature traits, heightened receptivity, and the urge to perfect. Ironically,
these are the same traits that become the focus of
(44:26):
others disapproval to varying degrees. Everyday geniuses possess the following characteristics.
Capacity for keen observation, exceptional ability to predict and foresee
problems and trends, special problem solving resources, extraordinary tolerance for ambiguity,
(44:48):
fascination with dichotomist puzzles, preference for original thinking and creative solutions, excitability, enthusiasm,
expressiveness and renewable energy, heighten sensitivity, intense emotion and compassion,
playful attitude, and childlike sense of wonder throughout life, extra presumptivity,
(45:14):
powerful intuition, persistent curiosity, potential for deep insight early spiritual experiences,
ability to learn rapidly, concentrate for long periods of time,
comprehend readily, and retain what is learned, development of more
than one area of expertise, exceptional verbal ability, love of
(45:38):
subtleties of written and spoken words, new information theory and discussion,
tendency to set own standards and evaluate own efforts. Unusual
sense of humor not always understood by others, experience of
feeling inherently different or odd, of being misunderstood and undersupported.
(46:04):
Deep concerns about universal issues and nature, and reverence for
the interconnectedness of all things. Powerful sense of justice and
intolerance for unfairness. A strong sense of independence and willingness
to challenge authority. Awareness of an inner force that polls
for meaning fulfillment and excellence. Feelings of urgency about personal destiny,
(46:30):
and a yearning at a spiritual level for answers to
existential puzzles. Identifying gifted adults is not easy because the
issue has been confounded and obstructed by the following. Nearly
all gifted adults were never formally or informally assessed for
exceptional potentiality. Giftedness is not a simple either or matter.
(46:56):
Just as any other feature of human ability, it includes
greats within a range. For example, musical talent, agility, developmental delay,
Giftedness occurs in various forms and intensities as well, and
may be viewed in terms of mild, moderate, extraordinary, and
profound levels, or broad ranging and single tract types. The
(47:21):
term gifted means different things to people who approach the
construct of human potential from varying viewpoints. Some of these
viewpoints are positive and others are negatively founded on stereotypes.
Gifted individuals who have been unrecognized and unsupported, and whose
gifts have been underutilized, may find their potentialities are dismissed
(47:45):
by unknowing observers, and so they may consider themselves to
be nothing special. Gifted people with cultural differences, physical limitations,
or learning disabilities are predisposed to developmental neglect that keeps
the seed of their abilities buried. Many people emphasize childhood
(48:05):
education oriented views of giftedness as it relates to academic achievement,
often to the exclusion of both the personality components that
are attended to giftedness and the inner processes and needs
of the gifted adult over the lifespan. Conventional methods of
determining ability appear to seriously underestimate potential and fail to
(48:27):
measure specialized aspects of intelligence and aptitude. Once the gifted
person goes beyond traditional schooling into more complex roles of
adulthood and work, he or she blends into society. Moreover,
in the adult world, the definition of giftedness tends to
be revised and translated into high profile success with accompanying wealth, fame,
(48:52):
or influential position, thus effectively eliminating untold numbers of bona
fide gifted individuals from the recognized ranks. Facing the truth
about ourselves, why does any of this really matter? Some
may ask, After all, many educators and scholars still hold
(49:14):
fast to the notion that the gifted will do just
fine on their own. While theories and untested philosophy suffice
for academic dialogue, real life self actualization calls for the
willingness to question our most basic assumptions. It wasn't so
long ago that I was struggling with many of the
same false assumptions. Making the transition from teacher to therapists
(49:39):
was difficult. I struggled to find a topic for my
thesis and found one in the complexity of my life.
For a while, investigating the effects of adoption on adoptees,
fascinated me since I had been adopted, and I had
always attributed my sense of displacement and incompleteness to that fact. However,
(50:01):
upon further reflection, I found that that didn't feel like
the right direction to pursue. Several other topics intrigued my
boundless curiosity. I focused on interpersonal relationships between bright, strong
willed adults, knowing how difficult it can be to share
a life without sacrificing one's true nature. That held my
(50:24):
interest temporarily, but ultimately I returned to my roots and
decided to investigate perfectionism. While growing up, I was labeled
little misperfect because I stubbornly believed that perfectionism and excellence
were inseparable. As I reflected back on this experience, I
felt certain that this was the ideal topic, one that
(50:47):
would benefit me and others. For several weeks, I dutifully
researched the subject, convincing myself that my anxiety about this
topic was typical and would diminish over time. By chance.
A few days later, I met my adviser who was
moving to a new office. I helped her carry some boxes.
(51:07):
As I explained my dilemma. She set down a box
leaned over to look through it and handed me a
stack of professional journal articles. Here, she said, I was
just going to pitch these, but then I thought of you.
I suspect you can put them to good use. Thumbing
through them, I noticed that each of the articles concerned
(51:28):
the personality, traits and life experiences of gifted adults. Feeling
my pulse beating in my temples and my mind raising,
I scanned them for content, and suddenly tears welled up
in my eyes. I looked up at my adviser, somewhat
embarrassed by my inappropriate response. She stood there placidly, and
(51:50):
then her face registered compassionate amusement. I heard my voice
asking her why she saved the articles for me. My
adviser be again, speaking in a near whisper, Mary, I
know a bit about adoption, and while that subject is
important to you, it's not essential to your search. Perfectionism
(52:13):
seems an attractive option, though I suspect that it may
not take you as far as your need to go.
You're getting closer, but you're not quite there yet. Based
on your reaction a moment ago, I think your subject
has already chosen you. You're going to investigate advanced development
and the psychology of gifted adults, aren't you. I was
(52:36):
startled by the word gifted. However, I managed to say
that sounds promising, since I've raised three very different gifted children. Also,
I used to teach gifted children, and now I counsel
the gifted and talented. I know that there's not a
lot of research available. I've always considered myself an advocate
(52:58):
for the gifted because of society distorted perceptions of them.
So you'd like to She paused, and I could see
her fighting a smile challenge. There's perceptions, yes, I said,
as I turned to go. Thanks. My dissertation decision had
(53:19):
been made. Just a second, Mary, my adviser said, you've
solved half the puzzle. You know the what, but I
don't think you fully understand the why. This will not
be just an intellectual exercise for you. Of course, you're
drawn to the questions of inner life and the challenges
of gifted people because you are one. This time, I
(53:44):
was more than stunned. For once in my life, I
was speechless as an avalanche of emotion rushed through me.
I was struck by the strange sensation of soaring liberation,
mingled with pangs of fear and apprehension. However, my adviser
was not finished. She pointed to the articles. The complete
(54:05):
answer is not in these pages, but there's enough to
get you started. Mary your right, sensitive, intense and driven.
That's who you are, and there are lots of others
out there like you. A topic like this will present
you with plenty of questions and you will find some
of the answers right away. The rest will elude you
(54:26):
for some time, but you will solve most of them
in the course of your work. I'm around when you
need to talk. That night, I stayed up until my
eyes were blurred from exhaustion, reading articles about gifted adults.
For the first time in my life, my unorthodox nature
could no longer be reduced to being the odd duck
(54:48):
in the pond. There were others out there like me.
This revelation was the sum and substance of who I
was and why it was about self, pud purpose, and
my place in the world. Over time, I understood that
not only was my experience of lost identity not unusual,
(55:09):
it was, in fact the norm. Why must I know
this about myself? The question why must I know this
about myself lies at the heart of this book. It
is the central issue for the gifted person, even more
closely linked to well being than physical health, financial condition,
(55:31):
or circumstance. Gifted adults need to know who they are
and cannot escape the full toward self actualization, the unyielding
inner pressure to make their lives count. For them, health
or well being is more than getting by existing or
making do. Knowing thyself means puzzling out how identity and fulfillment,
(55:57):
meaning and destiny are inextric linked in this culture. Though
it may seem otherwise, to achieve beyond the norm is
much harder than people imagine. Excellence is about authenticity, and
living authentically is always a process that is fraught with risk, setbacks,
and self doubt. Nevertheless, everyday geniuses are specially equipped to
(56:23):
defy the limits of the ordinary and break the mold.
All of them, from the person who invented the electric
drill whose name we may not know, to Madame Churia
Albert Einstein, share one overarching trait, the ability and the
drive to push progress forward. How can I know this
(56:46):
about myself? Until now? Everyday geniuses have had no guide
book to assist them in identifying themselves, accepting their traits
and abilities, nurturing their creative spirit, and navigating the real world.
Liberating Everyday Genius is intended to be that guidebook, a
(57:07):
source of essential realities that will bring the concept of
giftedness out of the dark ages and liberate the twenty million.
Everyday Genius is among us most important. You need new
information about who you are and who you are not.
To have a fighting chance of living up to your potential.
You must correct early messages you received that lead you
(57:30):
to make vital errors of self perception. Only after that
will you be ready to confidently embrace the full realization
of your gifts. This book is the culmination of years
of life experience and research. The goal is liberation founded
on authenticity, creating a new way to live out the
(57:50):
promise of high potential through the power of truth. For
the everyday genius to take his or her rightful place
in unfolding human per progress, to courageously stand up and
be counted in a society that equates worthiness with being
a winner, The everyday genius must detach from self negating
(58:11):
habits and thoughts. For everyday geniuses, claiming their true identity
is the only stronghold misconceptions about giftedness. If we hope
to support in any meaningful way those who have the
potential to contribute so much, a handful of harmful misconceptions
(58:32):
need to be discarded. Gifted people know they're gifted. Giftedness
solves all of its own problems. Giftedness has nothing to
do with personality. Early underachievement is a sure sign that
one is not gifted. The truly gifted never suffer from
(58:52):
self doubt or feel like imposters. A gifted person automatically
grasps and aims for is or her best career direction.
The gifted always do great things early in life. Because
of widespread stereotyping and misinformation, everyday geniuses are susceptible to
(59:14):
trouble in jobs, in relationships, and especially in their own
inner world. Because we don't often see the whole picture,
both those who observe and those who possess everyday genius
will continue to misinterpret its signals and disparage its expression.
As is true with any aspect of personality, not fully
(59:37):
accepting it and living unacquainted with one's whole self can
be very costly. It is all too easy to stay
lost unless we understand how it really works and find
a way to express it, Giftedness can become a heavy burden,
clearing the way for any abundant life. The adventure of
(59:59):
the possible self, replete with setbacks and triumphs, is the
heart of being and becoming authentic. Along with accepting the
responsibility of giftedness comes the duty to identify one's self
accurately and fully. As gifted adults, we are duty bound
to find ourselves. Once we know who we are and
(01:00:22):
who we are not, we can begin to see ourselves
as the swans we are intended to become. Only then
can we determine how to express our gifts fully. It
is critical that we resist society's attempts to excise or
cure what instead should be honored and cultivated. Humanity as
(01:00:43):
a whole cannot afford to forfeit what the everyday geniuses
have to offer. Three the everyday Genius Lost and found.
From one hundred cultures, there is one culture which does
no culture has ever done before, gives a place to
(01:01:03):
every human gift. Margaret Mead, the Ugly Duckley. It was
a lovely summer day in the country. The oats were
still green, and the wheat stood golden and tall. Down
in the meadow, the hay was piled into sturdy stacks.
In the bright rays of the sunshine, an old manor
(01:01:24):
house with a deep moat surrounding it stood with burdock
growing from its heavy walls all the way down to
the edge of the water. Under the dense green cover
of the thicket, a duck had built her nest. She
felt somewhat sorry for herself as she sat on the eggs.
The hatching was taking so long. Finally one egg began
(01:01:45):
to crack. Then another cheap. Cheap, the young chicks said,
as they came to life and stuck out their curious heads.
What crack? Look around, said their mother. The newborns peered
out at the green world around them. Well, you're almost
all here now, aren't you, the mother said as she
turned around to look at her nest. The biggest egg
(01:02:07):
hasn't hatched yet, and I'm so tired of sitting here.
I wonder how long it will take. Soon. One old
duck waddled over for a visit, and the mother duck
complained to her about the unhatched egg. I am quite
certain it's a turkey egg, insisted the old duck. I
was fooled like that once myself. I had my sorrows
(01:02:29):
and troubles, to be sure, For turkeys are afraid of
the water. You just let it lie there and teach
the others how to swim. That's my advice. Oh, I've
been sitting on it for so long that I might
just as well wait a little longer, replied the mother duck.
The old duck wristled, suit yourself, she huffed, waddling on
(01:02:50):
her way. At last, the big egg cracked open and
the last born tumbled out, an ugly gray one. He's
awfully big for his age, said the mother. None of
the others look like that. Could he be a turkey chick?
After all? Well, we shall soon see. The mother duck
(01:03:10):
led her brood down to the moat into the water.
We will go splash. She jumped into the water. Quack quack,
she ordered, and one after another the little ducklings obeyed.
Their heads disappeared, then quickly popped up again, and they
floated about like corks. They knew just what to do,
(01:03:30):
and even the misfit gray one swam splendidly. He is
no turkey proclaimed the mother, who set off to present
her brew to everyone. See how beautifully he uses his legs,
and how straight he holds his neck. That's my own child.
When you look closely, you can see he's quite handsome,
(01:03:51):
very pretty children, except that gray one. He didn't turn
out right, said the grand dowager of the duck yard.
You wish you could make him over again. That's not possible,
your grace, replied the mother duck. Perhaps he will grow
to be better proportioned than over time. He may not
be handsome, but he is a good character and swims
(01:04:13):
as well as the others. Yes, I might venture to
say he swims a bit better. However, time passed, and
the poor gray duckling was bitten, shoved, and ridiculed by
the other ducks and even the hens. He grieved over
his ugliness. Each day was worse than the one before.
Even his mother said, I wish you were far away.
(01:04:38):
Before long, the gray duckling was so miserable he flew
over the hedge. When the little birds in the bushes
flew up in fright, he shut his eyes and confessed,
it's because I'm so ugly. He kept on running until
he came to a great marsh where the wild ducks lived.
In the morning, the wild ducks gauked at him, asking
(01:04:59):
what kind of bird are you? The duckling bowed to
greet them as best he could. How ugly you are,
ridiculed the wild ducks, don't marry into our family. Toward
evening he came to a little house in the woods.
An old woman lived in the house with a hen
that laid good eggs and a cat that could arch
(01:05:19):
his back and give off sparks if he rubbed his
fur the wrong way. What's that? Said the old woman,
who noticed the intruder at the first light of dawn.
She couldn't see very well. When she first spied the duckling,
she thought it was a fat, full grown duck. Now
we shall have duck eggs, she exclaimed, and the duckling
(01:05:40):
was accepted. The duckling sat quietly in the corner. He
began to think of the fresh air, the sunshine, and
how much he wanted to float on the water. At last,
he couldn't help himself. He had to tell the hen
of his longing, what's wrong with you? You're just putting
on airs, lay eggs and you'll feel better. But When
(01:06:03):
the duckling went on and on about the water, the
hen said scornfully, you must be quite mad. You don't
understand me. The duckling protested, well, said the hen. If
we don't understand you, who would believe you me when
I tell you harsh truths. It's for your own good.
See to it that you start laying eggs. I might
(01:06:26):
go out into the wide world instead. The duckling dared
to reply, you just do that. The hen sneered. True
to his word, the duckling found a lake where he
floated alone on the water and dived to the bottom.
In autumn, the leaves of the forest turned golden and scarlet.
One evening, just as the sun was setting in all
(01:06:48):
its splendor, a great flock of beautiful birds rose out
of the bushes. They uttered a loud, strange cry as
they spread their powerful, glistening wings, craning their long, supple
necks to survey the train around them. They were flying
away from the cold meadow to a warm climate where
the lakes did not freeze in the winter. As they
(01:07:08):
soared into the sky, the duckling was strunk with a
strange urge. He spun around in the water like a wheel,
stretched his neck toward the sky and sounded a cry
so shrill that he frightened even himself. He didn't know
what those birds were called or where they were flying,
but he longed to go with them. The winter turned
(01:07:29):
bitterly cold. It was so cold that the duckling kept
swimming in an unfrozen part of the lake to stay alive.
But each night the hole became smaller and smaller. The
duckling tried hard to keep his feet moving so the
hole wouldn't close, but when he grew tired and couldn't
swim anymore, the ice froze him fast in place. The
(01:07:51):
next morning, a farmer came along. He saw the duckling
and freed it by breaking the ice with his wooden shoe.
He carried the duckling back to his wife, who nursed
him back to health, But the duckling couldn't remain in
the house because the children chased and teased him. The
bird spilled the milk pail and flapped his wings into
the butter and flower. After this he was to suffer
(01:08:14):
through the rest of the long winter alone. Months passed,
and the sun began to shine warmly again. The larks
sang spring had arrived all at once. The ugly duckling
raised his wings, which beat more strongly. Now before he
knew it, he was flying over a beautiful garden. Suddenly,
(01:08:35):
out of the thicket came three beautiful swans, who ruffled
their feathers and glided ever so lightly on the water.
He recognized the magnificent birds at once and was overcome
with a strange sadness. I will fly straight to those
royal birds, though they will surely peck me to death
because I am such an ugly duckling. It doesn't matter,
(01:08:58):
he decided, and he flew out into the water and
swam over to the swans. As the poor creature landed,
he bent his head humbly. But what was that in
the water. It was his own reflection. He was no
longer an awkward, ugly gray bird. He was a swan himself.
(01:09:19):
The new found swan felt so shy that he hid
his head beneath his wing. He was very happy, but
not too proud, for he remembered how he had been
ridiculed and persecuted. The big swans made a circle around
him and caressed him gently, with their bills. Being born
in a duckyard does not matter if one has lain
(01:09:40):
in a swan's egg. The swan's affirmed. Now everyone agreed.
The new swan was the most beautiful of them all.

William Blake. The world in which we live is, indeed
(31:00):
eat an extraordinary place. Out of every generation and culture,
remarkable people with exceptional gifts emerge to truly make a
difference in our lives. In my practice, I see some
of these outstanding individuals in a setting where they are
allowed to be completely candid, though they would never use
the word genius to describe themselves. Peeling away the layers
(31:22):
of the definition of genius reveals a nugget of truth
that is crucial to their self understanding. They may feel
bad about being different, guilty or not having lived up
to their own high standards, or like frauds who are
not nearly as smart as other people think. Nonetheless, their
keenness of mind shines through their veneer of denial, and
(31:44):
their genius, once liberated, exerts a strong influence on all
of us. Like a diamond, genius is extremely valuable and
often hidden under the rough edges of an outer layer
of stone. For genius to be truly valuable and useful,
it must be expertly mined and precisely shaped to reveal
its many sparkling facets. Genius is as tough as it
(32:08):
is fragile. Genius is rare enough to be sought after
and revered, though it is not as rare as we think.
History is filled with high achievers. They serve a useful purpose.
They give us something to look up to that is
awe inspiring. They demonstrate just how high the bar of
human accomplishment can be raised. Evidence of the effects of
(32:31):
genius is all around us. Yet throughout history society has
maintained a strange love hate relationship with it. We love
your unique products, just stop being so different. We are
enamored with the idea of genius and admire those who
stand out who create new things to make our lives
(32:54):
richer and easier. We love their creativity and their contributions
to society. Yet all too often we do not love
their unique and intense natures. They're too different. Society would
rather explain them away as eccentrics, or separate these creators
from their creations, cherish the product, chastise the person is
(33:19):
the general rule. The more impertinent and bold the person,
the steeper the climb, the harder the fall if things
go badly, and the hardier the collective laugh. With few exceptions,
we feel better about ourselves when we stereotype and pigeonhole
the brightest and the best. Consequently, what we don't always
(33:41):
see is that nearly all of them are multiply talented
and amazingly diverse, often succeeding at several distinct careers over
the course of a lifetime. From a distance, we can
set the notion of genius upon a pedestal that is
out of reach. Once genius is recognized, the scant room
for shortcomings. We simultaneously set impossibly high standards for what
(34:06):
constitutes genius and then view it as commonplace. When accredited
geniuses create something startlingly new or superb, we think nothing
of it because we have come to expect such feats
from them. After all, we explain to ourselves, if I
had the same talent, the same brains, and the right connections,
(34:26):
I'd be able to do the same thing myself. There's
something about human nature that has always been inclined toward
pushing geniuses off the pedestals upon which we ourselves place them.
We love these exemplars for filling in the blanks of
ordinary life with excitement, curiosity, and passion. Yet we hate
(34:47):
them when we feel inferior in the tall shadow of
their success. It stands to reason that anyone of exceptional
ability must, by nature be equipped to deliver the goods
without much effort.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Does it not?
Speaker 21 (35:01):
Likewise we assume that being who they are and doing
what they do must be easy for them. Is it
fair to make such assumptions? How much do we really
know about genius and geniuses, particularly those who exist far
outside the limelight. Is there more to these individuals than
(35:21):
meets the eye? Who are the real people behind these
outstanding deeds? And what is their world life? Strangely enough,
the life of the everyday genius is a paradox the
inner landscapes and personality traits that make them what they
are have long been kept under wraps. What do we
(35:41):
know about their psychees and inner experience? Research tells us
there is a great deal more to giftedness and intelligence
than we can immediately observe. Until someone moves into the
range of the public eye. For most of us, they
don't exist. Who they were before and what they did
prior to attain recognition is for the most part, a mystery.
(36:03):
It says, if geniuses spring up out of nowhere. Even
though most gifted people have to grow into their genius,
it is present as a seed from the beginning. Something
in them cannot be ignored. Frequently, behind their workday smiles
and greetings lies a question that rarely comes up in
their conversations. Who am I? And what am I doing here?
(36:28):
Most gifted adults were socialized in a way that encouraged
them to dismiss such deep inquiry. Finding answers to their
most profound existential speculations is a task that requires immeasurable
courage and fortitude. It is little wonder a shiver runs
up their spines whenever their minds dare to wander into
(36:50):
such deep woods. There is little support for basic inquiries
into our beingness. Yet These are the very questions that
clients present when they enter my office. Though they truly
long for peace of mind and heart, and crave the
creative lives they imagine for themselves, at the same time,
(37:10):
they want their growth to be smooth so that everyone
around them will continue to like them. They ask themselves,
why is any of this necessary? Even if I wanted
to know my true self and my life purpose, where
and how would I begin? It seems to me the
why question must precede the where and how. In my
(37:33):
years of experience as a psychologist, I have found that
the why presents itself initially to my clients in the
form of pain. It is the cry heard in the
secret hour that makes its way from the recesses of
the inner world into daylight, where the conscious mind can
grapple with it. Regrettably, we live in a society that
(37:54):
has become habituated to the quick fix solutions that are
implied in pathologizing label such as depression, anxiety, bad marriage,
bad job. At times, of course, these classifications are useful,
at least for diagnostic purposes. However, for certain people, such
simplistic identification tags not only miss the point but carry
(38:19):
a heavy price for When categorical thinking is ruled by
surface assumptions, the essential design and character of the personality
and soul are disregarded, depersonalized, and neglected. Such labels and
surface assumptions can frequently cause irreversible damage when applied to
the millions of individuals whose identity centers on high potential,
(38:43):
special talents and gifts of intellect. In many cases, the
final result is that there is something crucial missing from
the who am I? Puzzle? Their real identities continue to
appear on the missing person's list because of a perceptual
gap in their self image. Instead of knowing who they
are and what they're supposed to be doing with their lives,
(39:05):
they are stuck with socialized stampings cataloged than ranked by
faulty criteria. They failed to see their perception of reality
reflected in the world around them. The one critical puzzle
piece they must find in order to ascertain their rightful
place in the universe is this. The promise of high
(39:25):
potential and creative intelligence is accompanied by a specific set
of personality traits and inner processes, not simply more of
some attribute, but an altogether different quality of thinking and
experiencing when put into place, that piece has the power
to change everything. For years, we've labored under the false
(39:48):
assumption that genius is a difference in degree and not
a difference in kind, that genius simply meant more. That's
not the case. Genius is more and it is different.
The vast majority of gifted adults were given poor information
about their essential selves. Indicators of giftedness are subtle and complex,
(40:12):
says Stephanie Tolan, an award winning author of children's books
who also speaks and writes about the challenges unidentified gifted
adults face. Who am I is a question they may
need to ask themselves all over again because the answers
devised in childhood and adolescence were inaccurate or incomplete. The
(40:33):
gifted frequently take their own capacities for granted, believing that
it is people with different abilities who are the really
bright ones. Not understanding the source of their frustration or
ways to alleviate it, they may simply hunker down and
live their lives in survival mode. Indeed, the term gifted
(40:53):
leaves most adults shaking their heads in denial. Not me,
I'm no genius, I could will possibly be gifted? Gifted
not me unidentified everyday genius. Gifted adults are not, as
you may have thought, a tiny group of profoundly brilliant Einstein's. Rather,
(41:17):
they are everyday people of unusual vision who are more
appropriately called everyday geniuses because of one dominant trait, their
ability to give progress push forward. Nevertheless, as gifted and
talented adults, what they have been taught about their idiosyncratic
nature and atypical characteristics is often either incorrect or insulting.
(41:42):
In a society addicted to final products, we have been
brainwashed with the obsolete notion that giftedness is exclusively defined
by academic achievement, fame, and fortune. Even formers, trade a students,
and people who are obvious success stories resist the idea
of acknowledging that their abilities are bonafide. Perhaps the greatest
(42:05):
obstacle to claiming one's gifted identity comes from the modern
Western world's insistence that fairness is bound to sameness, that
the concept of giftedness is elitist. By extension, that more
of us believe that people with special abilities can make
it on their own and need nothing from society to
fulfill their potential. As a result, some people shy away
(42:29):
from their giftedness because they have been taught to believe
that such a claim would be arrogant, given the fact that,
in their experience, being smart sometimes meant being left out,
what other conclusion could they draw telltale signs of everyday genius.
Everyday geniuses are everywhere in the world. They are the
(42:53):
ones who can and will look beyond what is obvious
to design the better cards, attach the wheels in new places,
and pull hard to get things moving. Many times they
do so against all odds, and often alone. In the
most basic terms, gifted adults are obviously different to the
untrained eye in fundamental ways. Some everyday geniuses have talents
(43:18):
that are highly specialized for single tract. Others possess broad
ranging potentialities, able to draw from a pool of abilities
to excel in all sorts of things. A handful become
millionaire entertainers, eminent physicians, Pulitzer and Nobel prize winners. Many
more are firefighters, librarians, kindergarten teachers, chefs, and secretaries. Some
(43:44):
are conventional, some eccentric, some shy, some outgoing, some honorable,
some not. Everyday geniuses have regular jobs, families and friends.
They love a good baseball game. Like other people, most
often they are quietly gifted. They come from every culture
(44:05):
and exhibit every type of outward appearance, yet they share
several distinct traits that compel them to be intense seekers
of self actualization who are lured forward by their unshakable
first nature traits, heightened receptivity, and the urge to perfect. Ironically,
these are the same traits that become the focus of
(44:26):
others disapproval to varying degrees. Everyday geniuses possess the following characteristics.
Capacity for keen observation, exceptional ability to predict and foresee
problems and trends, special problem solving resources, extraordinary tolerance for ambiguity,
(44:48):
fascination with dichotomist puzzles, preference for original thinking and creative solutions, excitability, enthusiasm,
expressiveness and renewable energy, heighten sensitivity, intense emotion and compassion,
playful attitude, and childlike sense of wonder throughout life, extra presumptivity,
(45:14):
powerful intuition, persistent curiosity, potential for deep insight early spiritual experiences,
ability to learn rapidly, concentrate for long periods of time,
comprehend readily, and retain what is learned, development of more
than one area of expertise, exceptional verbal ability, love of
(45:38):
subtleties of written and spoken words, new information theory and discussion,
tendency to set own standards and evaluate own efforts. Unusual
sense of humor not always understood by others, experience of
feeling inherently different or odd, of being misunderstood and undersupported.
(46:04):
Deep concerns about universal issues and nature, and reverence for
the interconnectedness of all things. Powerful sense of justice and
intolerance for unfairness. A strong sense of independence and willingness
to challenge authority. Awareness of an inner force that polls
for meaning fulfillment and excellence. Feelings of urgency about personal destiny,
(46:30):
and a yearning at a spiritual level for answers to
existential puzzles. Identifying gifted adults is not easy because the
issue has been confounded and obstructed by the following. Nearly
all gifted adults were never formally or informally assessed for
exceptional potentiality. Giftedness is not a simple either or matter.
(46:56):
Just as any other feature of human ability, it includes
greats within a range. For example, musical talent, agility, developmental delay,
Giftedness occurs in various forms and intensities as well, and
may be viewed in terms of mild, moderate, extraordinary, and
profound levels, or broad ranging and single tract types. The
(47:21):
term gifted means different things to people who approach the
construct of human potential from varying viewpoints. Some of these
viewpoints are positive and others are negatively founded on stereotypes.
Gifted individuals who have been unrecognized and unsupported, and whose
gifts have been underutilized, may find their potentialities are dismissed
(47:45):
by unknowing observers, and so they may consider themselves to
be nothing special. Gifted people with cultural differences, physical limitations,
or learning disabilities are predisposed to developmental neglect that keeps
the seed of their abilities buried. Many people emphasize childhood
(48:05):
education oriented views of giftedness as it relates to academic achievement,
often to the exclusion of both the personality components that
are attended to giftedness and the inner processes and needs
of the gifted adult over the lifespan. Conventional methods of
determining ability appear to seriously underestimate potential and fail to
(48:27):
measure specialized aspects of intelligence and aptitude. Once the gifted
person goes beyond traditional schooling into more complex roles of
adulthood and work, he or she blends into society. Moreover,
in the adult world, the definition of giftedness tends to
be revised and translated into high profile success with accompanying wealth, fame,
(48:52):
or influential position, thus effectively eliminating untold numbers of bona
fide gifted individuals from the recognized ranks. Facing the truth
about ourselves, why does any of this really matter? Some
may ask, After all, many educators and scholars still hold
(49:14):
fast to the notion that the gifted will do just
fine on their own. While theories and untested philosophy suffice
for academic dialogue, real life self actualization calls for the
willingness to question our most basic assumptions. It wasn't so
long ago that I was struggling with many of the
same false assumptions. Making the transition from teacher to therapists
(49:39):
was difficult. I struggled to find a topic for my
thesis and found one in the complexity of my life.
For a while, investigating the effects of adoption on adoptees,
fascinated me since I had been adopted, and I had
always attributed my sense of displacement and incompleteness to that fact. However,
(50:01):
upon further reflection, I found that that didn't feel like
the right direction to pursue. Several other topics intrigued my
boundless curiosity. I focused on interpersonal relationships between bright, strong
willed adults, knowing how difficult it can be to share
a life without sacrificing one's true nature. That held my
(50:24):
interest temporarily, but ultimately I returned to my roots and
decided to investigate perfectionism. While growing up, I was labeled
little misperfect because I stubbornly believed that perfectionism and excellence
were inseparable. As I reflected back on this experience, I
felt certain that this was the ideal topic, one that
(50:47):
would benefit me and others. For several weeks, I dutifully
researched the subject, convincing myself that my anxiety about this
topic was typical and would diminish over time. By chance.
A few days later, I met my adviser who was
moving to a new office. I helped her carry some boxes.
(51:07):
As I explained my dilemma. She set down a box
leaned over to look through it and handed me a
stack of professional journal articles. Here, she said, I was
just going to pitch these, but then I thought of you.
I suspect you can put them to good use. Thumbing
through them, I noticed that each of the articles concerned
(51:28):
the personality, traits and life experiences of gifted adults. Feeling
my pulse beating in my temples and my mind raising,
I scanned them for content, and suddenly tears welled up
in my eyes. I looked up at my adviser, somewhat
embarrassed by my inappropriate response. She stood there placidly, and
(51:50):
then her face registered compassionate amusement. I heard my voice
asking her why she saved the articles for me. My
adviser be again, speaking in a near whisper, Mary, I
know a bit about adoption, and while that subject is
important to you, it's not essential to your search. Perfectionism
(52:13):
seems an attractive option, though I suspect that it may
not take you as far as your need to go.
You're getting closer, but you're not quite there yet. Based
on your reaction a moment ago, I think your subject
has already chosen you. You're going to investigate advanced development
and the psychology of gifted adults, aren't you. I was
(52:36):
startled by the word gifted. However, I managed to say
that sounds promising, since I've raised three very different gifted children. Also,
I used to teach gifted children, and now I counsel
the gifted and talented. I know that there's not a
lot of research available. I've always considered myself an advocate
(52:58):
for the gifted because of society distorted perceptions of them.
So you'd like to She paused, and I could see
her fighting a smile challenge. There's perceptions, yes, I said,
as I turned to go. Thanks. My dissertation decision had
(53:19):
been made. Just a second, Mary, my adviser said, you've
solved half the puzzle. You know the what, but I
don't think you fully understand the why. This will not
be just an intellectual exercise for you. Of course, you're
drawn to the questions of inner life and the challenges
of gifted people because you are one. This time, I
(53:44):
was more than stunned. For once in my life, I
was speechless as an avalanche of emotion rushed through me.
I was struck by the strange sensation of soaring liberation,
mingled with pangs of fear and apprehension. However, my adviser
was not finished. She pointed to the articles. The complete
(54:05):
answer is not in these pages, but there's enough to
get you started. Mary your right, sensitive, intense and driven.
That's who you are, and there are lots of others
out there like you. A topic like this will present
you with plenty of questions and you will find some
of the answers right away. The rest will elude you
(54:26):
for some time, but you will solve most of them
in the course of your work. I'm around when you
need to talk. That night, I stayed up until my
eyes were blurred from exhaustion, reading articles about gifted adults.
For the first time in my life, my unorthodox nature
could no longer be reduced to being the odd duck
(54:48):
in the pond. There were others out there like me.
This revelation was the sum and substance of who I
was and why it was about self, pud purpose, and
my place in the world. Over time, I understood that
not only was my experience of lost identity not unusual,
(55:09):
it was, in fact the norm. Why must I know
this about myself? The question why must I know this
about myself lies at the heart of this book. It
is the central issue for the gifted person, even more
closely linked to well being than physical health, financial condition,
(55:31):
or circumstance. Gifted adults need to know who they are
and cannot escape the full toward self actualization, the unyielding
inner pressure to make their lives count. For them, health
or well being is more than getting by existing or
making do. Knowing thyself means puzzling out how identity and fulfillment,
(55:57):
meaning and destiny are inextric linked in this culture. Though
it may seem otherwise, to achieve beyond the norm is
much harder than people imagine. Excellence is about authenticity, and
living authentically is always a process that is fraught with risk, setbacks,
and self doubt. Nevertheless, everyday geniuses are specially equipped to
(56:23):
defy the limits of the ordinary and break the mold.
All of them, from the person who invented the electric
drill whose name we may not know, to Madame Churia
Albert Einstein, share one overarching trait, the ability and the
drive to push progress forward. How can I know this
(56:46):
about myself? Until now? Everyday geniuses have had no guide
book to assist them in identifying themselves, accepting their traits
and abilities, nurturing their creative spirit, and navigating the real world.
Liberating Everyday Genius is intended to be that guidebook, a
(57:07):
source of essential realities that will bring the concept of
giftedness out of the dark ages and liberate the twenty million.
Everyday Genius is among us most important. You need new
information about who you are and who you are not.
To have a fighting chance of living up to your potential.
You must correct early messages you received that lead you
(57:30):
to make vital errors of self perception. Only after that
will you be ready to confidently embrace the full realization
of your gifts. This book is the culmination of years
of life experience and research. The goal is liberation founded
on authenticity, creating a new way to live out the
(57:50):
promise of high potential through the power of truth. For
the everyday genius to take his or her rightful place
in unfolding human per progress, to courageously stand up and
be counted in a society that equates worthiness with being
a winner, The everyday genius must detach from self negating
(58:11):
habits and thoughts. For everyday geniuses, claiming their true identity
is the only stronghold misconceptions about giftedness. If we hope
to support in any meaningful way those who have the
potential to contribute so much, a handful of harmful misconceptions
(58:32):
need to be discarded. Gifted people know they're gifted. Giftedness
solves all of its own problems. Giftedness has nothing to
do with personality. Early underachievement is a sure sign that
one is not gifted. The truly gifted never suffer from
(58:52):
self doubt or feel like imposters. A gifted person automatically
grasps and aims for is or her best career direction.
The gifted always do great things early in life. Because
of widespread stereotyping and misinformation, everyday geniuses are susceptible to
(59:14):
trouble in jobs, in relationships, and especially in their own
inner world. Because we don't often see the whole picture,
both those who observe and those who possess everyday genius
will continue to misinterpret its signals and disparage its expression.
As is true with any aspect of personality, not fully
(59:37):
accepting it and living unacquainted with one's whole self can
be very costly. It is all too easy to stay
lost unless we understand how it really works and find
a way to express it, Giftedness can become a heavy burden,
clearing the way for any abundant life. The adventure of
(59:59):
the possible self, replete with setbacks and triumphs, is the
heart of being and becoming authentic. Along with accepting the
responsibility of giftedness comes the duty to identify one's self
accurately and fully. As gifted adults, we are duty bound
to find ourselves. Once we know who we are and
(01:00:22):
who we are not, we can begin to see ourselves
as the swans we are intended to become. Only then
can we determine how to express our gifts fully. It
is critical that we resist society's attempts to excise or
cure what instead should be honored and cultivated. Humanity as
(01:00:43):
a whole cannot afford to forfeit what the everyday geniuses
have to offer. Three the everyday Genius Lost and found.
From one hundred cultures, there is one culture which does
no culture has ever done before, gives a place to
(01:01:03):
every human gift. Margaret Mead, the Ugly Duckley. It was
a lovely summer day in the country. The oats were
still green, and the wheat stood golden and tall. Down
in the meadow, the hay was piled into sturdy stacks.
In the bright rays of the sunshine, an old manor
(01:01:24):
house with a deep moat surrounding it stood with burdock
growing from its heavy walls all the way down to
the edge of the water. Under the dense green cover
of the thicket, a duck had built her nest. She
felt somewhat sorry for herself as she sat on the eggs.
The hatching was taking so long. Finally one egg began
(01:01:45):
to crack. Then another cheap. Cheap, the young chicks said,
as they came to life and stuck out their curious heads.
What crack? Look around, said their mother. The newborns peered
out at the green world around them. Well, you're almost
all here now, aren't you, the mother said as she
turned around to look at her nest. The biggest egg
(01:02:07):
hasn't hatched yet, and I'm so tired of sitting here.
I wonder how long it will take. Soon. One old
duck waddled over for a visit, and the mother duck
complained to her about the unhatched egg. I am quite
certain it's a turkey egg, insisted the old duck. I
was fooled like that once myself. I had my sorrows
(01:02:29):
and troubles, to be sure, For turkeys are afraid of
the water. You just let it lie there and teach
the others how to swim. That's my advice. Oh, I've
been sitting on it for so long that I might
just as well wait a little longer, replied the mother duck.
The old duck wristled, suit yourself, she huffed, waddling on
(01:02:50):
her way. At last, the big egg cracked open and
the last born tumbled out, an ugly gray one. He's
awfully big for his age, said the mother. None of
the others look like that. Could he be a turkey chick?
After all? Well, we shall soon see. The mother duck
(01:03:10):
led her brood down to the moat into the water.
We will go splash. She jumped into the water. Quack quack,
she ordered, and one after another the little ducklings obeyed.
Their heads disappeared, then quickly popped up again, and they
floated about like corks. They knew just what to do,
(01:03:30):
and even the misfit gray one swam splendidly. He is
no turkey proclaimed the mother, who set off to present
her brew to everyone. See how beautifully he uses his legs,
and how straight he holds his neck. That's my own child.
When you look closely, you can see he's quite handsome,
(01:03:51):
very pretty children, except that gray one. He didn't turn
out right, said the grand dowager of the duck yard.
You wish you could make him over again. That's not possible,
your grace, replied the mother duck. Perhaps he will grow
to be better proportioned than over time. He may not
be handsome, but he is a good character and swims
(01:04:13):
as well as the others. Yes, I might venture to
say he swims a bit better. However, time passed, and
the poor gray duckling was bitten, shoved, and ridiculed by
the other ducks and even the hens. He grieved over
his ugliness. Each day was worse than the one before.
Even his mother said, I wish you were far away.
(01:04:38):
Before long, the gray duckling was so miserable he flew
over the hedge. When the little birds in the bushes
flew up in fright, he shut his eyes and confessed,
it's because I'm so ugly. He kept on running until
he came to a great marsh where the wild ducks lived.
In the morning, the wild ducks gauked at him, asking
(01:04:59):
what kind of bird are you? The duckling bowed to
greet them as best he could. How ugly you are,
ridiculed the wild ducks, don't marry into our family. Toward
evening he came to a little house in the woods.
An old woman lived in the house with a hen
that laid good eggs and a cat that could arch
(01:05:19):
his back and give off sparks if he rubbed his
fur the wrong way. What's that? Said the old woman,
who noticed the intruder at the first light of dawn.
She couldn't see very well. When she first spied the duckling,
she thought it was a fat, full grown duck. Now
we shall have duck eggs, she exclaimed, and the duckling
(01:05:40):
was accepted. The duckling sat quietly in the corner. He
began to think of the fresh air, the sunshine, and
how much he wanted to float on the water. At last,
he couldn't help himself. He had to tell the hen
of his longing, what's wrong with you? You're just putting
on airs, lay eggs and you'll feel better. But When
(01:06:03):
the duckling went on and on about the water, the
hen said scornfully, you must be quite mad. You don't
understand me. The duckling protested, well, said the hen. If
we don't understand you, who would believe you me when
I tell you harsh truths. It's for your own good.
See to it that you start laying eggs. I might
(01:06:26):
go out into the wide world instead. The duckling dared
to reply, you just do that. The hen sneered. True
to his word, the duckling found a lake where he
floated alone on the water and dived to the bottom.
In autumn, the leaves of the forest turned golden and scarlet.
One evening, just as the sun was setting in all
(01:06:48):
its splendor, a great flock of beautiful birds rose out
of the bushes. They uttered a loud, strange cry as
they spread their powerful, glistening wings, craning their long, supple
necks to survey the train around them. They were flying
away from the cold meadow to a warm climate where
the lakes did not freeze in the winter. As they
(01:07:08):
soared into the sky, the duckling was strunk with a
strange urge. He spun around in the water like a wheel,
stretched his neck toward the sky and sounded a cry
so shrill that he frightened even himself. He didn't know
what those birds were called or where they were flying,
but he longed to go with them. The winter turned
(01:07:29):
bitterly cold. It was so cold that the duckling kept
swimming in an unfrozen part of the lake to stay alive.
But each night the hole became smaller and smaller. The
duckling tried hard to keep his feet moving so the
hole wouldn't close, but when he grew tired and couldn't
swim anymore, the ice froze him fast in place. The
(01:07:51):
next morning, a farmer came along. He saw the duckling
and freed it by breaking the ice with his wooden shoe.
He carried the duckling back to his wife, who nursed
him back to health, But the duckling couldn't remain in
the house because the children chased and teased him. The
bird spilled the milk pail and flapped his wings into
the butter and flower. After this he was to suffer
(01:08:14):
through the rest of the long winter alone. Months passed,
and the sun began to shine warmly again. The larks
sang spring had arrived all at once. The ugly duckling
raised his wings, which beat more strongly. Now before he
knew it, he was flying over a beautiful garden. Suddenly,
(01:08:35):
out of the thicket came three beautiful swans, who ruffled
their feathers and glided ever so lightly on the water.
He recognized the magnificent birds at once and was overcome
with a strange sadness. I will fly straight to those
royal birds, though they will surely peck me to death
because I am such an ugly duckling. It doesn't matter,
(01:08:58):
he decided, and he flew out into the water and
swam over to the swans. As the poor creature landed,
he bent his head humbly. But what was that in
the water. It was his own reflection. He was no
longer an awkward, ugly gray bird. He was a swan himself.
(01:09:19):
The new found swan felt so shy that he hid
his head beneath his wing. He was very happy, but
not too proud, for he remembered how he had been
ridiculed and persecuted. The big swans made a circle around
him and caressed him gently, with their bills. Being born
in a duckyard does not matter if one has lain
(01:09:40):
in a swan's egg. The swan's affirmed. Now everyone agreed.
The new swan was the most beautiful of them all.
The lilacs bowed their branches right down to the water
for him, and the sun shone warm and bright. He
ruffled his feathers, lifted his slender, graceful neck, and from
the depths of his heart cried out in joy. I
(01:10:02):
never dreamed of so much happiness when I was the
ugly doctor.
