What if people are like ecosystems. Some are like meadows, some like deserts, and some like oceans. All are beautiful, valuable and necessary. Gifted folks are like the rainforest: extremely complex, highly sensitive, intense, colorful, and creative. And, like the rainforest, gifted individuals are capable of making important contributions to society and the planet. But to do that we need to allow them to be themselves. We need to put the chainsaws down and encourage their curiosity, idealism, sensitivity, and insight. Appreciate their lush and lively rainforest minds.
