Not everybody has a talent

No, not everybody is talented. This belief is ignorant and stupid. This is a lie, and I pity those who believe it. Some people are born with a talent, some aren't. It is not that goddamn hard to just accept it. And brainwashing people into believing this just makes you an asshole.

    Being good at something is only about 5% talent, the rest is educating yourself on how to improve and having a strong work ethic.

      Or you get fantastic genetics that would account for like 45% in some circumstances.

        In sports that’s probably true.

        That’s my exact point, talent is only a small part of what makes someone excel at a skill.

    Nobody is born with talent, they can’t even speak or walk you dildo.

    • Apparently you don't know what it means to be born with something.

    I believe that everyone has talent....

    What many people lack is the personal internal drive to achieve something and work past obstacles - and develop what talents they have.

    Everyone is born with the ability to be naturally good at something, but beyond that, it is up to the individual to hone in their skill. Michaelangelo wasnt born ready to paint the Mona Lisa, but he had more natural talent than I ever will no matter how much I learn about painting.

    • No, some are and some aren't. Not everyone is skilled at something.

        Correct, not everyone is good at everything. But i believe that with enough practice, you can become good enough at anything.

        • But then that really isn't a true talent. It's not really something you're truly talented at if you had to get practice.

            No one is born capable of running. Gotta learn to crawl then walk. Some people are born with the capability to do it quicker than others. Therefor no one is born talented. Just able to grasp some concept quicker than others

        • Yeah, a stupid one. And that has nothing to do with what this post is about.

          Edit: You aren't superior.
