Many people believe that talents are gifted to some people from birth. Others,

however

, think that anyone can learn anything, and I agree with

this

point of view. On the one hand, there are groups who consider some talents to be God gifted.

Firstly

, the people born with

such

skills do not need much effort and

time

to learn. They can quickly learn those skills and start performing.

Secondly

, they perform way better than their counterparts even though they practice far less.

For example

, the famous musician, John Carter, learnt Piano for only three months and won an international competition in 1998.

Thirdly

, children born with the special talents have a keen interest in that field from childhood, and do not need any training to become expert in that. They are highly motivated and love to spend

time

in utilizing their talents.

On the other hand

, it is believed that anyone can learn any skill.

First

, anything can be learned by dedication, hard work and motivation. If someone decides to learn something new, he might face difficulties

initially

, but with

time

and patience, he can achieve it.

For instance

, some people have to face failure for long periods to learn singing before they are successful.

Moreover

, training is

also

crucial to polish the skill set, and for that,

time

and resources are required.

Lastly

, direction

also

plays an important role. If good direction is provided to individuals, they can learn anything. In conclusion,

although

some people believe that children are born with specific talents, but in my opinion, anyone can be trained to acquire new skills. With proper training and enough resources, motivated people can achieve the results.
