Definition:
1). Innate ability, aptitude, or faculty,
esp when unspecified; above average
ability.
2). A natural ability to excel at a duty or
action.
3). A special, often creative natural
ability or aptitude.
Definition been established,where does
this ''talent'' reside and does it really
exist??.
Let's take a look at some factors.
1). Human anatomy:
The human body consists of 600 to 700
individual muscles,300-350 bones at birth
and 205 at adulthood,5 sense organs,a
complex brain,11 systems,78 organs,a
pair of feet and arms and so much more.
All things being equal,each human
possesses the above stated qualities,that
underlined out shows the fact we are
capable of achieving whatever feat any
human can possibly achieve only if the
human body is fine tuned and disciplined
to the task set out to accomplish.
2). Environment:
This is the major ''potter'' of the ''clay''
of an individual's ability. This involves
the ''forces'' that ''beats the clay'' into
shape. One of such forces is the family.
a). The Family:
The family plays a pivotal role in the
development of an individuals ''talent''.
Most of the world's ''gifted'' individuals
are known to be surrounded by a family
whose roots are synonymous with the
''talent'' exhibited by the individual. At
the ''moulding'' stage,the individual is
exposed to a vast collection of the
material,making the individual develop
skills in respect to what the individual
has been exposed to.
b). Survival:
As it is often said ''necesseity is the
mother of invention''. Next to the family
in terms of ''talent'' moulding is the need
to survive. A close look at the strata of
class (upper class aka the rich,the middle
class aka well to do,lower class aka the
masses) you will discover that the lower
class contains more individuals with
''multiple talent'' than any other class.
This is because of the need to survive.
The individuals in this class are not born
with the luxury of life,thereby making
them to make themselves versatile in
almost all aspects of life inorder to
survive. Look closer at the background of
famous people,you will notice more than
80% grew up in the lower class.
3). The Divine:
Genesis 1:26 ''let us make man in our
image and LIKENESS. . .''. Lets
compare,humans love God loves,humans
hate God hates,humans get jealous God
gets jealous (exodus 20:5) humans have
''talent'' God doesn't have talent. If who
we are modeled after doesn't possess
''talent'' and doesn't also proclaim we do
possess ''talent'',you can't help but
wonder where the idea of talent was
gotten from.
4). Practice:
''practice makes perfect'' is an anthem
we all are too familiar with but tend to
overlook it. We will look at two
aspects,the physical and mental.
a). The Physical:
Sports will be the main anchor point since
everyone can easily relate to it and it is
also a means of measuring the ''limit'' of
the human body. Have you ever
wondered why records are always broken
when it seems that is the ''limit'' of the
human body. This is as a result of the
non existance of talent and the power of
will and practice. Perfect examples of
sports where this is evident is in
marathon and athletics. It follows a
pattern of creating-lasting-breaking (CLB)
records. It starts with an individual
creating a record which lasts for a while
then is later broken. The new record
follows the same pattern of CLB for
years,and each time a record is made we
hear things like ''this is an awesome
talent,this is the limit no one can
break,can this be ever beaten?'' but a
while after these records have been
made,they become broken. Does this
mean the ''talent'' of the previous record
setter didnt possess enough quality than
the ''talent'' of the individual that broke
it? Or does it mean ''talent'' is now
qualified only to be a subject of increase
or decrease via practice?.
b) The Mental:
More often than not,people call and
categorize others as dull,brainless,silly
etc forgetting the fact that we all have
the same brain type,function and
mechanism,needless to say no one is
silly,dull or has inability to understand
and absorb things. Applying practice to
the cognitive aspect of the human sphere
requires more dedication than any other
thing (maybe religion requires more).
Such dedication is using a dictionary to
learn new words and their uses. If that
can be practiced with the strictest
discipline,that individual will be better
equipped vocabulary wise than any of
their counter parts and by so doing,the
individual will be labelled with the
''genius'' tag. Another example is the life
of Einstein,he was considered a ''dullard''
but later became world famous for his
mathematical equations and
theories,that shows you no one is dull,all
we have to do is fill up the space in the
brain.
The height/extent of ones abilities
development through practice is often
influenced by two factors,one is the love
you have for what you are practicing and
proof of self worth.
5) Psychology:
We have been taught and made to
believe for so long that ''talent'' exists. I
will explain this point with a story.
''A man who is used to the highway
speed limit(75-80mph) bought a car and
decided to test run it on an autobahn
road(germany) to feel its speed,he is
accompanied by the owner of the
company that manufactured the vehicle.
When he got his vehicle on the road,he
started slowly and gradually
accelerated,after a minutes he was at his
''top speed'' and was very excited about
the speed of the car. Suddenly another
driver who happens to be a racer drove a
car which is exactly the same model with
his pass him with a greater amount of
speed almost twice of his. Surprised at
which the other driver overtook him
when on top speed,he turned to the
manufacturer and complained that the
manufacturer sold him a fake car''. Time
to draw the analogy between the story
and talent.
The highway driver=individual A.
The racer driver=individual B.
Company owner=the Divine Being (God).
Car=human body.
Different speed attained by each
individual=psychology of limit placed by
soceity (talent).
Autobahn road=the possibility of what
can be achieved. I will leave you without
an explanation for you to understand it
yourself and be free from the barrier
called ''talent''.
And what we call ''talent'' are abilities
that are possessed via natural
state,made to increase in quality and
expand or decrease. Which is subject to
change to the above reasons

You can also ask your friend another question. Ask him why we don't think or act the same since we are similar in all ramifications?
The soul solves his problem.
