Some people possess talent, others are possessed by it. When that happens, a talent becomes a curse.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Why has God given me such magnificent talent? It is a curse as well as a great blessing.
Everybody has talent, it's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is.
There are two kinds of talent, man-made talent and God-given talent. With man-made talent you have to work very hard. With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a while.
The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows.
To my mind, talent doesn't really exist.
Talent is nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.
Talent can be developed, gift is God-given. But artists have both.
Talent is to actors what luck is to card players. It's not really anything; it's just a fictitious word that people have created and labeled things. Talent is like, you know, I never really believed in talent, I believed in drive and determination and preparation, but talent is sort of like luck.
There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.
Talent is a gift that can be given, and it can be taken away. We have to appreciate that.
