There's nothing quite like having opposable thumbs. Not everybody has them, and like many things you were born with or forgot how you learnt, you might take them for granted. These babies really bring it all together, from typing to playing piano and guitar, climbing mountains and riding motorcycles. Many of you remember the fable of the ten silver talents. The anxious and over cautious servant buried his coin, and was later berated by his master. The bold and risk inclined servant lent his coins to make a return, and was praised by his master. Sometimes we are taught that to be respectful of something, we should put it on a pedestal, that we should never question our teachers. The one who has the most respect for her teacher will ask the most difficult questions. Let us be grateful for the things that came to us easily. We wake every day by chance, by luck, or Grace of God, escaping death, meteorites, hurricanes, earthquakes, malicious persons, maladies and other calamities, with such ease that we assume it will always be this way. One day it won't. How will you show respect for what has been given to you, today? #hands #gratitude #thumbs #self #selfie #me #teacher #silvertalents #talent #grateful #money #blessings #useful #Canon #canoneos #canonfeed #canoneos200d #kurtparadise (at Leeds) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn1CW68nbc9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pihcsk4yx50l
