WHAT WE CALL TALENT

Talent is the eventual potential of an individual in a certain endeavor. It’s not how good one is right away – it’s how good one can become in a perfect world. The most important subcategories of talent are probably:
1) Innate (before training) ability
2) The mental and physical capabilities to spend time and effort trying to improve: not losing motivation, getting injured etc. (Although mental toughness and injury resilience can be improved, there is a talent component to both.)
3) The amount of improvement that happens with a given amount of practice i.e. the ability of the body to adapt or the mind to master
Success is a product of talent and environment. The realization of one’s full talent is extremely rare and relies heavily on being in an optimal environment, plus a great deal of luck.

I asked her why she was crying then she told me that she just saw her result and it was all failure , we were still grieving over that when a call came in that her father is dead....I was confused to here this and it was then I realised that my problem is just a minor problem, I was mute and lifeless when she stormed out of my room .   A man with a hunch was passing by and a piece of paper fell from his pocket , I picked it up and read it ,it was written in it that : a man's problem is...
