damned if i don’t like to talk

My mentor tells me that if I’d focus, I’d be a venerable powerhouse of influence and success.

I counter by telling him that I understand so many things conceptually, that I can move to the next idea in an instant. It’s not that I can’t focus, it’s that I understand completely very quickly. A speed of thought is what he doesn’t understand.

Just because I can talk in depth about a myriad of seemingly unrelated topics, does not mean that there are not relations to be made.
