Have you seen the movie “Amadeus”? It’s a chaotic plot that completely ignores historical facts, but it’s an undeniably enjoyable work that portrays Mozart’s life in a gorgeous and lively manner. This movie makes you think regarding what talent is. The protagonist of Amadeus is not the genius Mozart, but the mediocre musician Salieri. Seeing Mozart’s dazzling talent, Salieri is reminded of his mediocrity. “I am the champion of the mediocre,” Salieri recalls in the film. Salieri’s tragedy is that he was not mediocre enough to fail to recognize Mozart’s talent. Or it was extraordinary enough to make him aware of his own mediocrity. Although he was called “mediocre”, Salieri was the personal musician of Emperor Joseph II of Austria and possessed an unparalleled musical knowledge, and was one of the most proficient players of his time. So how can the diligent and serious Salieri be no match for the “childish and frivolous” Mozart? Salieri’s knowledge and skills were acquired through tireless effort. However, in fact, the amount of energy required to acquire the same skill is the same for ordinary people and geniuses. What for Salieri was the fruit of hard work, for Mozart it was nothing more than pleasant foreplay. How can you win once morest someone who enjoys trying as if he were breathing? Perhaps most of what people call talent is a constitution that makes effort unconsciously. The situation is the same for artists, athletes, and scholars.

Nietzsche wrote “Joyful Wisdom” by Die fröhliche Wissenschaft. The title is a literal translation of the Italian la gaia scienza, a style of medieval Provençal troubadours who used slang rather than Latin to sing regarding love in a free form. It points. Nietzsche probably wanted to show that his writings deviated from the style of so-called philosophical treatises, and that they were free, uninhibited, and above all, “fun” philosophy. Scienza seems to have a rather broad connotation, as la gaia scienza is translated in French as le gai savoir (enjoyable knowledge). However, Wissenschaft, which Nietzsche dared to choose as a translation, is still a study and a science. Delightful learning, delightful science! None of us would be so Amadeus that we find pleasure in all our daily routines, but if we might do all the hardships and trials and errors like a child at play, then What kind of celestial science will be born?
