A talent is defined as something that comes natural to you and you enjoy doing. A talent is something you grow on and develop and always work towards strengthening and improving in. Everyone, no matter how different or unique, has a talent. However, most people do not incorporate their talent into large aspects of their life and keep it as something minor.

After reading The Sports Gene and Outliers, it is determined that people become “talented” with practice and there is no such thing as innate “talent”. In Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell, in chapter 2 it is said, “...10,000 hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world-class expert-in anything.” This supports the idea that people become “talented” with practice. The quote supports the claim because if it is being said that it takes 10,000 hours to master anything, it can be assumed that people do not have innate “talent”, but rather have a level of mastery over many hours of practice. It could be said on the opposite side of the argument that if it takes 10,000 hours to master anything, “ Why is there

Which is more important, talent or hard work?. Other people refer to this question as Nature vs. Nurture (Taylor). Throughout the years there has been debates about the topic and it will go on in the future because of different beliefs and thoughts that people have. This argument can be compared with democrats and republicans, some believe one thing and the others something else. Hard work always comes out on top of talent because of the time and dedication a person utilizes to work hard and get to a high level of skill and knowledge.

Talent is defined as the natural skill or aptitude one has in a specific field. In Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers, Gladwell argues that talent doesn’t play a big role in determining

The trick to success is not talent it is passion, nobody is naturally talented enough to be outstanding, the only way to stand out is with practice and the only motivation to practice is passion.

Practicing your daily routines at home, work and play, requires a focus of love for people and God, when serving others with your talent. It is not about your talent. It is about the gift that keeps on giving

What do you consider talent? In my opinion talent is something that someone commit’s and devotes their time to perfect. Victor Espinoza is a talented and very spiritual person. In fact, Victor is so talented that he won one of the biggest races in the horse racing industry.

How do we as people discern how individuals have obtained their prowess and talent? Some would say it is a product of hard labor and dedication. Some would say it is in inherent in certain lucky beings. However, regardless of how you swing the two sides of this debate it is undeniable the power of the former. Think of many great heroes, artists, writers, athletes, and overall successful individuals in general. What do they all have in common? They have all put in the time and hardship to reach the pinnacle of their abilities. Even in the most dire of circumstances not pertaining to that of a skill, trade, or art, treachery has made a work of bringing out the most persistent, enduring, and determined of us as a species. All of this being eloquently

I believe I have no talent. In my mind a talent is something you enjoy doing and continue pursuing for the rest of your life. Picasso had a talent of painting, and he enjoyed painting. They say all people are born with a natural talent. I could say I have the talent of speaking out to others because I was the preacher in my Fellowship of Christian Athletes organization that I started at my school. I could say my talent is being able to master the flag in color guard. I may also say my talent is being able to juggle many things at once because of my busy schedule during the school year. I had to balance my time spread between 6 clubs, homework, 3 sports, and community service. I could also mention my talent is being able to memorize and learn

My special talent is the all time favorite sport, soccer. Soccer is not just passing a ball around a field and trying to make a goal. It takes skills, hand eye coordination, and the passion of the game. Soccer has been around for thousands of years. Soccer is still loved by millions to this day.

I have played soccer throughout my life, started off not knowing or even have any interest in to soccer to something I love doing most. Soccer has always been apart of my life, everything I do, I would think of soccer and how to become an even better player over time. My skill just didn’t come to me or was given when I was born, I worked and trained hard each day to be able to achieve the “skill” I have currently. Another talent I have is being able to solve and visualize a mathematical problem or equation without the use of pen and paper. For example, if the teacher was to ask a question about graphing or something to do with solving and equation, I quickly do it in my head just in case the teacher calls on me. Even though if I do it wrong, it gives me confident to speak out and not be afraid of my answer, which makes the teacher think that I tried but didn’t get it correct. This talent has attached with me since eighth grade and ever since, I’ve always been confident in answer a mathematical question regardless of the difficulty. Although this talent is common, I am proud of the ability to solve mathematical equation and graph in my head, but I can’t do those that takes half a sheet of paper to solve. My last talent is being able to hear extremely well, which means that if somebody is walking behind me or whispering near me, I can hear what's going on. For example, I can hear hear if somebody is

The first reason why talent is more important than hard work is people with naturally born talent at a skill will have the upper hand. People with natural talent don’t have to work as hard than other people giving them the upper hand on other people. People with naturally born talent at a skill don’t have to work as hard to get it or learn it than people who have to work harder than they do to get it or learn it. Certain things come easy to them which makes them better at a skill than someone else who has to work super hard at a skill.
