Talent In Abundance

I came across a phrase in the forward of a book I was perusing on an internet sales site last night. My home computer's history would remind me where I was and who I was reading (and out of fairness, I'll sneak it in here later). But it was the content that grabbed my attention, not the whys and "what for" queries detailists might ask. The author is the author of Blink but in the book I was considering, he was describing the practice ethic of Baseball's Ted Williams. It put forth the concept that we all underestimate ourselves. That we should look at talent not as either there, or not there, but as unrealized.

When considering a base level of what most feel prosperity is, wouldn't it be clear that one should never play small? I feel drawn to assisting others in realizing inherent goodness and capability -- maybe not bombarding individuals with happiness and smiley faces at all times, but just to get one to the level of dipping down but still being fully capable of rising back up.
