In general, I would say that the most brilliant thing on earth is nature; it is perfect, even though many people do not see it that way. It has created human beings, and in that sense, and always speaking in general terms, I consider that the most brilliant thing nature has created is the human heart and brain. Thinking about the brain's interconnections or the wonderful function of the heart, in addition to its magnetic field, I have seen wonders of creation; they are brilliant. Human beings are the ones who damage them with their attitudes, but in origin they are brilliant.
Now, given that brilliant nature has created me and therefore I have a brain that I always try to stimulate and exercise by learning new things and a heart that I take care of because it is the engine of my life in every sense, I started to think about what more specific and less general things I consider brilliant.
So I started to think about what things in life allow me to express myself, what things help me to be brilliant in what I believe I am. That's why, for me, these things go together.
If they help me to be brilliant at something, then those tools are brilliant, at least for me.
I think one of them is brushes. They allow me, together with oil paints, to paint what I like best, which at the moment is pictures and rocks. The quality of the brushes is fundamental, as is their shape. Those made with hair are much better, not to say good, than those made with synthetic materials. Hair wears out more slowly, as oil paints eat away at the brush with each use due to the oils they contain. Of course, if I painted with acrylics, that wouldn't happen, but I love painting with oil paints.
On the other hand, there are two types of brushes, flat and round, and I always remember what my teacher Gloria used to say: Flat brushes are the best, they don't lose hair and they paint much better. I always followed her advice. Their function is brilliant because they allow me to do what I love.
I also consider my hands to be brilliant, because without them I couldn't paint, but I also couldn't do another thing I'm passionate about, which is writing, especially now that I've taken a great liking to writing stories. They are brilliant in their shape, I love their shape and that of my nails too, and they allow me to write, to express myself. For me, hands are the most useful tool there is, allowing you to do things for yourself and not with AI, for example. Things made with your hands have much more value, for example, a craft, a gift. Because that's where you put your heart.
And I think that in the same things that these tools are used for, I am brilliant, in my own way, of course. I'm talking about painting and writing. Tools such as brushes and hands, together with painting and writing, form an inseparable whole.
We all have something that is brilliant; the important thing is to know how to see it and multiply its potential. This is one of the excellent weekend topics presented to us by 
Thank you all very much for reading today, I wish you a very good weekend. See you soon.
