To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, it does exist.<\/p>\n<p>There was a time, of course, when I didn\u2019t believe that. What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place back in 1953.<\/p>\n<p>At that time I was a skinny little high-school sophomore in Collingswood, New Jersey, a town just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. At Collingswood High I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every other department I was a loser.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/post\/guideposts-classics-roy-rogers-on-how-he-found-faith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>READ MORE: ROY ROGERS ON FINDING FAITH<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As a funny-looking pip-squeak named Eugene Orowitz, who weighed barely 100 pounds, I desperately wanted to fit in, to be something and do something well. But because I hadn\u2019t found anything I was good at, I looked upon myself as being a total flop.<\/p>\n<p>One sunny afternoon during the spring of that year, our gym class went out to the school\u2019s running track. The teacher was going to acquaint us all with various track and field events. We were shown hurdles, the broad jump, the pole vault. I stumbled weakly through them all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we\u2019ll try the javelin,\u201d the teacher said.<\/p>\n<p>I watched as he picked up a gleaming metal spear about six feet long and gave it a short toss. Suddenly I was captivated and didn\u2019t know why. Something inside me began saying, \u201cTry it! Try it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I had to wait my turn, though, because several others wanted a crack at the javelin too. Shy and scared, I watched them, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had had a chance to throw\u2013the longest heave going about 30 yards\u2013I looked at the teacher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, Orowitz, you want to try?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, come on then,\u201d he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my classmates chuckling.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:1rem\">\u201cThink you can lift it, Ugy?\u201d one said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t stab yourself,\u201d another added, laughing.<\/p>\n<p>As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feeling\u2013a new-found excitement. Seeing myself as a Roman warrior about to do battle, my fears vanished. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I\u2019d never done it before.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/post\/guideposts-classics-jimmy-dean-on-forgiving-the\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">READ MORE: JIMMY DEAN ON LEARNING TO FORGIVE<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me into throwing it, now told me it was a good throw.<\/p>\n<p>I watched as the spear took off. While other students\u2019 throws had wobbled or turned cockeyed in the air, to my surprise, my throw was traveling straight and true.<\/p>\n<p>My heart quickened as I saw it continue to sail, 30 yards out, then 40. As it went past the 50-yard mark, it was still going when it went crashing down beyond some empty bleachers.<\/p>\n<p>For a minute nothing was said. Then someone whispered, \u201cHoly cow!\u201d and others began cheering and slapping me on the back. Nobody could believe what little Orowitz had just done.<\/p>\n<p>Neither could I, really. And when I think back on it, the whole scene must have resembled something out of a grade-B movie.<\/p>\n<p>I ran to retrieve the javelin and when I found it, I saw the tip had been broken off in landing. Expecting a real bawling out, I took the javelin back to the gym teacher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it,\u201d he said, still shaking his head in wonder. \u201cYou keep the thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:1rem\">That night I took the javelin home with me and, much to my parents\u2019 astonishment, never let it out of my sight. The very next day I began practicing with it, and every day that summer\u2013for six hours or more\u2013I would throw it in a nearby schoolyard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The joy of finding something I could do made me determined to do as well in it as I could.<\/p>\n<p>By the time I was a senior and a member of the track team, all my practice paid off. I threw the javelin 211 feet that year, the best throw by any high-school boy in the country.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/post\/guideposts-classics-john-wayne-on-true-courage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>READ MORE: JOHN WAYNE ON TRUE COURAGE<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That record gave me a track scholarship to the University of Southern California. With my eye on the Olympics, I continued to work out until one day in college, after not warming up properly, I tore some ligaments in my left shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>While I still could throw, I was never able to achieve the distance I once could, and so I gave up my track scholarship and my dream of the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Though that was a terrible disappointment, I\u2019ve learned since then that as we are developing one talent, others seem to spring from it without our realizing it. While the javelin gave me a chance to go to college, it also provided me with a new-found confidence and the ability to shed my inferiority complex.<\/p>\n<p>I was able to see the importance of that when later, after I dropped out of U.S.C., I took a job in a Los Angeles warehouse. There, a coworker, an aspiring actor, asked my help in learning his part in a small playhouse production of <em>Home of the Brave<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>When I began reading the script, I became mesmerized. The same kind of fascination that took hold of me when I picked up the javelin now turned me on to dramatics. Immediately I enrolled in acting school.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/post\/guideposts-classics-hugh-obrian-on-serving-others\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>READ MORE: HUGH O&#8217;BRIEN ON SERVING OTHERS<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That led to small parts in movies, which in turn brought me the role of Little Joe Cartwright in <em>Bonanza<\/em>. That TV series lasted 14 years and while it\u2019s no longer running, it led me to still another area\u2013directing\u2013which I\u2019m now using in my <em>own<\/em> series, <em>Little House on the Prairie<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m convinced that everyone has some kind of hidden talent. God sees to it\u2013it\u2019s that simple. The difficult part for some of us is in finding the talent.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I feel strongly that we must keep our minds open; we can\u2019t let ourselves be discouraged or depressed when the talent doesn\u2019t readily appear. Yet when it does, we must be prepared to grab hold of it right away.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I think about what made that scrawny kid pick up that javelin, I know there was a reason. God was on that high-school field whispering to me, \u201cHere\u2019s an opportunity. Take it.\u201d And am I glad I listened to Him\u2013glad I trusted my enthusiasm\u2013for I not only found my talent, but I truly found myself.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>For more inspiring stories, subscribe to <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/w1.buysub.com\/servlet\/ConvertibleGateway?cds_mag_code=GDP&amp;cds_page_id=241158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Guideposts<\/strong><\/a> <em>magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there\u2019s one thing I can\u2019t stand people saying, it\u2019s, \u201cI\u2019m no good at anything &#8230; I don\u2019t have any talent.\u201d I just don\u2019t buy that at all.
