What do you love doing? What are you passionate about? What
is your talent?
What is a talent? A talent is an unusual natural ability to
do something well and it can be developed through training. Everybody has a
talent (even the Berger down the streets has a talent). Everybody is born with
a talent an unusual natural ability. Even though we all have talents, not everybody
is able to identify it in themselves. Because this unusual natural ability is
often common to its owner, coupled with the fact that it’s usually
underdeveloped.
Have you watched the movie X-MEN? (Hot action movie). The
movie X-men features superhuman characters with, unique abilities. My favorite
is a character called doctor X leader of the X-men, he can read minds. I wish I
can read your mind now but, what will I see? hmm…….. . The movie is totally
fictional as you know and our talents cannot be that spectacular. However, many
people do things that seem supernatural to other people. For example; the
computer or phone we all use is the product of very talented people. Over 200
years ago using a phone, computer or even electricity would be impossible; in
fact, thinking of such ideas-a phone that used to talk to another person in
another part of the earth, a computer or even electricity-would be insane. But,
the talented scientist of the past believed it was possible to invent a phone,
computer, electricity and many other inventions, they loved what they did, they
were passionate about it and made it happen. I say thank you them.
As stated earlier the sad thing about talent is the
inability to recognize it. A very powerful talent, comparable to inventing a
phone, computer, internet and electricity can lie dormant through out a person’s
life. For example, I have this friend who constantly complaints about the
obvious talents of others like singers, actors, comedians and spots people. He sees
nothing special about himself. But, this is a guy that, if he enters a place
for some unexplained reason everybody immediately likes him, I have tried to
copy him, with much painful effort, yet I can’t seem to do it. Yet this guy
feels he has no talent, this guy is such a social guy, he does it effortlessly.
You will agree with me that, he has an amazing talent (his practically a one
man social network). Yet he doesn’t recognize his ability as a talent, his
heart recognizes it but his mind cannot see it.
A talent is an untapped gold mine, if you are able to
recognize and develop it. A talent is usually something you love doing, a
talent is something you do that all your friends talk about. It’s something
that is so easy for you but very difficult for others. Your talent could be as
simple as being able to keep white cloths, white for years or being able to
naturally save money or being able to take care of animals There this guy on
the national geographic channel that is so good with dogs, he can examine the
behavior of your dogs and tell you if they are friends or enemies if they are
sad or happy. That’s his talent. Talents come in different sizes, and different
shapes. You can become very rich by using your talent productively. Harnessing
the gold ore from it.
Identifying your talent is one thing developing your talent
is another. In the next article in will discus how you can develop your talent.
