CONCLUSION:

Explain that most of us underestimate the power for good that a person possesses. If we dedicate ourselves to helping family members find and develop their talents, we will discover that our love for them will grow and develop along with their talents. We will learn that there are many kinds of talents and that they are not always easy to find, but if we persevere, we will succeed and help family members succeed and be happy.
