Talent is the natural ability to develop a certain ability. A talent for music is a natural ability to develop musical abilities. Talent in sports is the natural ability to develop oneself in a particular sport.
In different areas, a person’s talent can manifest itself at different ages. For example, in music, drawing, mathematics, linguistics, technology, talent usually manifests itself at an early age, and in literary, scientific or organizational fields it is found at a later age.
Talent: giftedness or the result of working on yourself?
Talent is a handicap given at birth. But if your talent is not developed by daily training, it will remain at the level of «outstanding abilities», but no more. Talent without diligence is only hope, only an open door to great results, but this door must be entered: to enter with one’s own labor.
Talented scientists and writers often say that the main guarantee of their success is a strong butt. The ability to sit and work, plow. In the world of high achievements, it is not talents that win, but plowmen with talent.
Mike Tyson was a world champion not just because he was amazingly talented. Ten rounds of sparring 6 days a week! Strength training from morning to late evening. His trainer, Kevin Ruki, had an iron hand on him. And when Mike left the coach and started playing tricks, he quickly lost his talent.
A talented person is talented in everything?
And so, and not so. A talented musician is not at all an obviously talented athlete, and vice versa. On the other hand, talented people really achieve high results in a variety of areas more easily than others. This is due to the fact that a talented person is accompanied by a feeling: I know this, I can, and what I can’t do, I quickly learn. Talented people are more often characterized by free consciousness and an effective approach. This is most likely due to the fact that any activity has approximately the same structure. At least — the structure of training. I know how to learn, I’m talented in this — it will be easier for me to do everything. If you want to become talented, learn to learn.
Talent is the freedom of the body and mind against the backdrop of openness to everything new.
