Turing.

Goldfinch60



As you go through life

Looking at people

What do you imagine

That they imagine?

Do you look at some

And think that nothing

Nothing will come from them?

Do you look at others

With great expectations?

Sometimes you are surprised,

As those of whom you imagine

That nothing will come from,

Will do the things,

That nobody could imagine.

    I have come to learn that most people have some hidden talent. A few have an exceptional talent. Alan Turing was one of those. Code breaker and father of computer science. He had a tragic death. Thank you for remembering him and for sharing a lovely piece of music Andy.

    • Goldfinch60

      Very true Cassie, some people do surprise us with what they know.

      A fine write Gold.
      That saying reminds me a bit of the yesterday / today / tomorrow saying.
      What was it again, for the umpteenth time? lol.

      • Goldfinch60

        Today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.

        It's often a game of chance.

        • Goldfinch60

          It may well be 2781 but some know more than we realise.

          Some people, like some events are too big and too important to ever be forgot .. Turing is a fine example

          • Goldfinch60

            Very true Neville, thank you.

            A great question and one that occurs regularly. Many people surprise me as to what they do and don't do. Nicely done Andy

            • Goldfinch60

              one you never expect

                Wonderfully stated, we do tend to judge a book by it's cover, possibly never knowing the value that it contains. I saw Imitation Game for the first time several years ago, and before that I'd never heard the name Alan Turing. He fascinated me and I couldn't read enough about him after that. Great write my friend!

                • Goldfinch60

                  He was a very clever man and brought a lot to us with his knowledge. Thank you Bella.

                  Beautiful, Andy. Thanks for the treat.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    My absolute pleasure Jerry.

                    So true. Superb work.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Thank you Thomas.
