Psychologist argue that our personality or that part of ourselves that makes us unique is made up of two components. One is the biological or innate part and the other is the environmental or acquired part of our personalities. They go on to argue that we are born with certain inborn abilities many call talents. These include; manual, artistic, athletic, intellectual, social etc. The consensus is that while we are born with these abilities, we develop one or more based on environmental factors. This might explain why particular talents tend to run in family groups since a particular talent might be encouraged more than others. In my opinion, a talent is an innate ability that is nurtured and developed until it can be expressed effectively by an individual.
Others argue that talents along with our character or capacities help us to keep the problematic aspects of our personality under control, which are our tendencies. These include aggressiveness, impulsiveness, irritability, timidness, etc... Many are able to control their anger by using their talents. For example, one might get angry at a loved one and instead of arguing or fighting, one will go out for a run or paint a picture.

Talent in vocabulary terms is an innate gift; special abilities which exceeds that of others. But to be honest for me Talent is all about wanting it. Wanting to get better, wanting to learn and wanting to work hard for it. Sure there are people whose skills exceeds that of older ones but surely with perseverance you could always get better.

talent is a generic trade you have. When you are born it was there and sometimes you discover your talent. Sometimes you die never knowing what your talent was. People born with a talent for painting are usually great painters when they do it a lot but they certainly are not at the first start. A talent is a trade that needs to be expanded to be thruly great. Someone without this talent has to put more effort and practicing into this particular trade then someone with talent who will achieve much more result with less effort.

talent is something...u fell good when u r doing it ! i mean .. for example .. a man is good in football that means he is talented in the game ..it means he enjoys playing football . talent is something u cannot have by ur own desire ..people r born with it ! not being talented in one arena doesnt mean u r not talented in others arenas . thats why its a popular proverb " different people have different talents " .everyone is born with some talent . when u enjoy doing something ..and dont feel burdened while doing it ..it means u r talend for it ! every people is born with some talent ..and when some people fail in doing some thing particularly,they start feeling useless and untalented ..but these people succeed in their life once they find their talent ..something at which they r really good at !
