Let me tell you a little story i enjoy very much.
Let tell you about a man who died and met Saint Peter at the pearly gates. Realizing Saint Peter was a wise and knowledgeable person, he said, "Saint Peter, I have been interested in military history for many years. Tell me who was the greatest general of all times?"
Saint Peter quickly responded, "Oh, that's a simple question. It is that man right over there," as he pointed nearby.
The man said, "You must be mistaken, Saint Peter. I knew that man on earth. He was just a common laborer."
"That's right, my friend," replied Saint Peter. "But he would have been the greatest general of all time -- if he had been a general."
You were created with natural abilities and an internal compass that guides you toward a particular focus for your life. That's only the starting point; the next step is yours. You have an obligation to expand that potential to its ultimate destiny.
Michelangelo said, "It is only well with me when I have a chisel in my hand."

The Mirror Test
The test gauges self-awareness by determining whether an animal can recognize its own reflection in a mirror as an image of itself. This is accomplished by surreptitiously marking the animal with an odourless dye, and observing whether the animal reacts in a manner consistent with it being aware that the dye is located on its own body. Such behaviour might include turning and adjusting of the body in order to better view the marking in the mirror, or poking at the marking on its own body with a finger while viewing the mirror.
Animals which have passed the mirror test are Common Chimpanzees, Bonobos, orangutans, dolphins, pigeons and humans. Surprisingly, gorillas have not passed the test, although at least one specific gorilla, Koko, has passed the test; this is probably because gorillas consider eye contact an aggressive gesture and normally try to avoid looking each other in the face. Human children tend to fail this test until they are at least 1.5 to 2 years old. Dogs and 1 year old children, for example, usually react to a mirror in fear or curiosity, or simply ignore it, while birds often attack their own reflections.
The only non-mammal to pass the mirror test is the pigeon.
