    This document discusses unrecognized talent, using Franz Kafka as an example. It notes that Kafka was an introverted novelist whose father wanted him to be more masculine. Though he wrote extensively, Kafka's work was not published or recognized during his lifetime. If not for his friend Max Brod, who published Kafka's works after his death, his literary masterpieces like The Metamorphosis and The Trial may have been lost. The document argues that society should be more open-minded about different talents and perspectives, and that an attitude of superiority can crush unrecognized talents from ever being discovered.

    WHAT HAPPENS TO

    TALENT THAT GOES


    UNRECOGNISED ?
    By : Afnan Tahir
    PERCEPTION|INTRODUCTION
     Art that goes unrecognized
     Franz Kafka
     Acceptance of talent in society
     Our sense of superiority
    WHY DO WE
    KNOW THE
    NAMES OF
    THESE
    PAINTINGS?

    WHATS SO
    SPECIAL
    ABOUT
    THEM?
    FRANZ KAFKA
     A german speaking bohemian novelist
     Father was a businessman
     Introverted
     not the perfect-manly and physically strong his father wanted
     tried fitting in and got a desk job, 9 to 5
     Started writing, published his book mediation, did not get
    recognition, told by others to quit.
     Kept writing but didn’t get anything published.
     He died leaving instructions for his literary work to be burned
    however Max Brod, his bestfriend got them published and now
    we have literary masterpieces like
     Metamorphosis
     The trial
     Letters of Milena
    WHAT IS KAFKA NEVER GOT
    THE RECOGNITION?
     What if Max Brod never got kafkas work published? We would’ve never known of him. This
    might sound trivial but do consider his efforts and whether it would’ve been fair if he died as
    society called him, a loser.
    WHY?
     Different people have different persepectives so the next time you see someone showing you
    any art piece, poem, essay or painting or even another ideology listen to them before. Theres a
    reason why theyre saying it,they have a brain too and your not the only one with it.
     We need to end this narcissistic, I-am-superior mentality. Sure, it might help with your self
    confidence and self esteem but keep in mind the effect it has on other people, this sense of
    superiority destroys talents around the world, crushes their wings before they learn to fly.
