Do You Have ANY Talent At ALL???

12 years ago

I was watching your video and I agree with the message but I disagree where you say that you don't believe in talent.

I think that gifts and talents are really the same thing.

I think that our talents are those things that we can do better or different than anyone else on the planet. Those things that are unique to us.

I do agree with the part about hard work. However, hard work feels really hard to people who don't know their talents and how to best utilize there talents.

I'm a believer that if you make a list of your talents or gifts or those things that you do better than anyone else and then make a list of how you can best apply those talents you can succeed.

I think that hard work can be enough, but if you don't have passion, the hard work will feel excruciating and that's when people give up.

So, How do you find your talents? I say ask yourself if money was no object and you could do anything: what would you do?

Put your hard work into that...then you can find success.

Just my personal beliefs.

Thanks

If money is not object, would you still do it. I agree 1000%

Multi-tasking is just half-assing a bunch of stuff at the same time!!

Sounds like all you did was change the word talents to gifts.
Some things are naturally going to be easier for some people than others. You do have to develop them, gaining more along the way, but that doesn't mean the starting one vanishes. There has to be somewhere to start, and that in itself is a talent.

thanks for the feedback guys! that's part of the purpose. so people look at things differently. as for changing the words, that's not the way to look at it.

im referring to the way people view "talented" folks from the outside in. We all have gifts, and when we develop and refine them, they appear as talent. cheers!!
