The relation between Natural Talent and succes

From quite some examples of human species around me, i have come to some special conclusions which i would like to talk about with some people around here ;)



Lets start

Natural Talent does not effect your chance of succes.

- What i noticed from people who are born with a Natural Talent that is already very well developped is that they often do realise they are good in that very aspect. Which is of course, a good thing. Knowing yourself isnt bad.

Thing is, they often aren't convinced, and become "lazy" when it comes to improving themself. Would this mean that they often don't have a greater chance of succes then most people who are just dedicated? I can imagine that one with dedication can quite fast surpass someone who uses his talents, but doesnt strive to improving things?


If you so far agree with me, thank you.


I was more wondering if anybody has more explanations for the fact why so many people who are not naturally talented still often end up better then the natural talented? Or anybody who can try to get a little deeper inside what i just said? I know i could do that, but conversations tend to accelerate that for me :)

I like things like this. But I agree with some of that, Natural Talent is just something you have been gifted with but anyone can learn it any way (95% of the time). But Succeeding it from the start is more rewarding I think and that is something that can drive people.

In reality, humans can surpass each other because our brains are the same structure and learn just the same as anyone else. And your atitude to succeed in something for the profit of it gives you a better feeling, no? But being Naturally Talented in something isn't really as rewarding because you already knew it and you think you don't need to learn anything unless you're a very competitive person.

I think it's either that or it depends on the person attitude/personality.

Thing is, i think there is a time where it starts getting less effective, and where it comes very hard to catch up with natural talent.

Thought this might have to do with the fact that for most people it becomes harder to learn languages at later ages.

I do want to say something about one thing you said. From what i know, humans dont have the same brain structure, neither do they learn just the same as anyone else. For instance, memory: I know people who can remember a complete text by just reading it, but cant remember anything at all when they listen to it. But then again: it might be that those differences in learning are actually the same for everybody at the beginning, but that the brain specialises in certain ways when you grow up, depending on extern factors.

Our brain is structured the same believe me, I know the way we remember and such are completely different because some aspects of our brain are stronger than others which is why someone can remember a complete text by just reading it but the other part won't remember anything when listening to it.

Growing up moulds you into who you are and how your brain works which Is needed in order to do certain things that you want to do.

"have to do with the fact that for most people it becomes harder to learn languages at later ages"

Well it becomes harder to learn languages at later ages because that's when our brains aren't as good as they were. It happens with a lot of people but depending on what they've done in their life such as needing to remember a lot of things for a job or such they could learn it easily.

Hehe, i missunderstood your line then ;) Ithought you ment something else.


""Well it becomes harder to learn languages at later ages because that's when our brains aren't as good as they were. It happens with a lot of people but depending on what they've done in their life such as needing to remember a lot of things for a job or such they could learn it easily.""

That is exactly why i said it. At some point it will become a lot harder to catch up. Exactly for that reason i guess ;)
