Talent?

Can you hear a song one time and then play it or sing it perfectly? Can you fix something/anything that other people would shake their head at and say it's impossible to fix? Can you stand on your head longer than anyone that you know? Can you write a story that captures a reader with mere words? Can you paint or draw so well that it leaves people in complete awe? Or do you have a talent that would just blow people's mind to know that ONLY you can do this one particular thing? I have known people who have had so many talents that you couldn't just pick one and say that was their talent. Then I have known a few people that seemed to have NO talent in ANY area (that was visible). So, in your opinion, what is your talent? Do you know? Are you still waiting to find it?

Hi Little_Stormy, you have lot of question of "can you". This is an answer for all your question. I already make a summary for it.The answers is Yes, we can do all of it if we keep on try, do work harder to reach it, never give up. Everybody can do this. You also can do all that thing if you one want make a practice or some work to get it. Then why are you saying that few people don't have any talent. Are you a person that called God that know everything about other people. For me other people have their own talent. Who are you that simply saying other people like that. Are you the person who have lots of talent? I don't think so. I feel sad when you say few people have no talent. Ofcourse people who are born in mental disability or suffering from physical cannot do anything, but don't simply say that people have no talent. Maybe for you it is ok, maybe you born in the good situation, you are rich never feel about suffering but think others who are not like you with no food or anything to get their self more improve.

I didn't say that they had NO talent.. I said that they had NO VISIBLE (that anyone could see, either because they don't show it or can't show it) talent. re-read the question and you will see I am not saying that their talentless people.. I'm saying some talents are harder to see than others. as for being rich, I assure you that I am NOT rich nor do I not feel for the suffering.. on the contrary.. if anything I care TOO MUCH!... and actually volunteer a large portion of my time to helping those in need.

Thank you, Whiteheather :) Sorry if I didn't make it clear.. I wasn't saying anyone was totally void of talents. Because I certainly don't believe that!

I think my talent is knowing I have no talent in some things thereby not making others suffer by expecting them to admire my untalented attemppt at something.

Oh, Whiteheather! you are so wrong! you have a talent that I've not seen many people have.. you have the talent of caring for people and taking care of those important to you. Not to mention your talent for communicating your feelings and thoughts with mere words! THAT, my dear friend, is an awesome set of talents that you have!

Almost all your questions may fall in to the negative side. As for me I don't think I can do a single thing that's listed in your discussion. I guess I just don't have talent.

my examples were just that... examples. we ALL have our own talents.. no one is totally lacking talent (of some sort). just because your talent wasn't listed in the examples, doesn't mean you are talentless.
