Many people today talk about natural talent, and many young people assume that everyone has their own natural talents, i.e. natural gifts. For instance, people talk about being gifted at sports, or being a math person as if there is a natural aptitude towards math. However, other countries and cultures emphasize practice and effort more than natural talent. Here, its not about being born with a talent, but rather the idea is that you can get good at something – anything – by practicing and working hard. What are your thoughts on this matter?
