Talent
Were all wise or famous people talented? Did wise people make their own talent? Talent is something that gives you more opportunity to do something than others but, it does not mean that talent is the only key to success”,we should not confuse talent with spiritual success. Talent is the 10% of wisdom, while 90% of wisdom is hard-working “(anonym) from this we understand that , although talent is delivered uniquely to all people it can be compensated by our inquisitiveness or diligence. There are similarities and differences between talent and spiritual gifts .both are gifts from God .Both grow in effectiveness with use .Both are intended to be used on behalf of others , not for selfish purpose .Spiritual gifts are given to benefit others and not ourselves .As the two great commandments deal with loving God and others ,it follows that one should use his talent for those purposes . But to whom and when talents and spiritual gifts are given differs. A person (regardless of his belief in God) is given a natural talent as a result of a combination of genetics (some have natural ability in music ,art ,or mathematics ) and surroundings (growing up in musical family will aid in developing a talent for music), or because God desired to endow certain individuals with certain talents. Ultimately , a talent is the genetics and training ,while a spiritual gift is the result of the power of the God. Eventually , no matter we have talent or spiritual gift we should be humble for it .People should enrich their talent or spiritual gifts with their inquisitiveness and diligence ,because talent or spiritual gift given to people is not for them , people are obliged to use their talent in best way to other people especially for their nation, for their

    10,000 Hour Rule

    Malcom Gladwell, in the book The Ten Thousand Hour Rule, suggests that there basically is no God-given talent, but rather if you practice the skill that you want to perfect for ten thousand hours that you will successfully master that skill. He explains how no person is born with a natural talent, but if they are there’s very little of that talent. Gladwell’s theory does not reflect my understanding of scripture. My understanding of Paul’s teachings in the New Testament is that everyone is born with some kind of spiritual or physical talent. I do believe that a talent can be improved by working, but there must be some talent on which to build. Just like a house, you can’t just say “Build yourself”, there must be a foundation (ability/talent).…

    In Staudinger article, “A Psychology of Wisdom: History and Recent Developments,” she discuses the basis on how most people characterize a wise individual in psychology and what people can gain from being or becoming wise. According to Staudinger, historically some people would consider a wise individual to be someone who possessed natural born intelligence/common sense or an older person who gained wisdom through years of experience. Common sense means practical or wise judgments.…

    Dillard Working Hard

    • 349 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Annie Dillard is an amazing author and writes about her experience of working hard and how it pays off. I 100% agree with Dillard’s beliefs about talent and if you work hard towards your goal to achieve it, then it will be much more rewarding in the end. Now a day’s people in society feel like ones’ talent just comes naturally without really having to work for them at all. This is exactly the opposite of what Annie’s perspective was on talents. Society today wants the easy way out and they don’t want to work hard to achieve their goal. If one is not born with a talent and it is not natural to them then they feel as if the talent wasn’t meant for them. In Dillard’s writings, she tries her best to relate to her readers to help them understand the message she is trying to convey.…

    Asher Lev

    The exceptionally creative may need a different approach when it comes to their development. The gifted need to be treated with patience and given room to grow their talents. In My Name is Asher Lev, Asher’s parents are not very supportive of his gifts. His mother is the more supportive of the two. She can relate to Asher’s problem of wanting to grow in his art and the communities disapproval. She even buys him paint at one point and takes him to an art museum. When he asks his mother questions that she fears may corrupt his Jewish faith she can no longer accept his gifts in front of his father. Eventually she supports him by saying, “You and your father are two different natures. There is nothing to be done about it, Asher Lev...Do not try to understand, Become a great artist. That is the only way to justify what you are doing to everyone's life.”(Potok) In school, a place that should be a refuge of learning and peace Asher's Headmaster remarks “Many people feel they are in possession of a great gift when they are young. But one does not always have to give in to a gift. One does with a life not only what is precious to one's self, but to one's own people. That is the way our people live...”(Potok) This notion that a gift should be ignored for a civic responsibility is incredibly ignorant and short sided. The headmaster has no idea the incredible things…

    My 5 talent themes are Connectedness, Empathy, Consistency, Belief, and Analytical. Being analytical for me, means that I like to access situations, conversations, and people. I want to know why something is the way that it is and how was the conclusion came to. If I'm talking with someone and they bring up something that contradicts what I am saying and it's supposedly based off of facts I want to see proof. I don't have a problem being wrong but if I'm wrong I want to see evidence of it for myself and learn from it. I even try to figure out people psychologically by being analytical.…

    My Musical Identity

    From an early age I grew up listening to the sounds of Motown with my dad. He would sing songs to me like “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” recorded by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terell, and I would listen diligently, unknowingly acquiring the ability to make beautiful melodies and soulful sounds with my vocal chords. Then one day it happened. I sang. In fact, to say that I sang, would be saying the least of what actually happened. I didn’t just sing, I sang well. And it was around the age of 8 that I realized I had a gift for music, a raw talent if you may, and I was determined to use it.…

    Within the long span of the history of mankind talented individuals generated innovative ideas and new forms of arts on behalf of humanity. Despite the crucial importance of the role of genius people, their artistic creativity and the source of their talents have been always mysterious. Though in ancient times they were considered as gifts given by gods, nowadays scientists reveal special brain mechanisms underlying the sophisticated phenomenon. Neurologists have noticed that after the damage in the left hemisphere of the brain some people develop striking creative abilities. While having difficulties in constructing fluent speech (as language is lateralized in the left hemisphere of the brain) the visual and musical abilities become active…

    All my life, ever since I was a kid, I have sang. Around the house, at school, and even in public. When I was young, I just sang because it made me happy.
