Olympic Gold Begins With Good Genes, Experts Say
With a lot of hard work, just about ANYONE can become VERY GOOD at just about ANYTHING.
However, to get to greatness, or to be the BEST in a particular field, a good amount of NATURAL ABILITY is required.
Read the first chapter of the book The Tiger Traits to see this concept well articulated.
This is not sad news by any means, IF you agree with the premise that EVERYONE HAS TALENT.
Theories of MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES (idea that there are many different areas of intelligence, not just IQ) support the idea that EVERYONE HAS TALENT.
I am willing to take this Multiple Intelligence theory one step further, in what I call my Supernatural theory.
Supernatural theory- everyone has something or some natural talent that they possess that is greater naturally than 90% or more of the population.
This means you need to identify your talent, enjoy using your talent, practice it often, and go into a sport/career etc. that allows you to make the most use of your talent.
Again, this is just an idea that I've been throwing around in my head. When you think about it, everyone has something they can just naturally do better than 9 out of 10 people you know. Think about it.
IDENTIFY YOUR TALENT
USE YOUR TALENT
Typically we love to do something that we are exceptional at, so your passion and your talent should probably be very similar, if not the same thing.
Keep an eye out for things you seem to do easily.
