It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance for sport or music, and others are not. However, it is sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good sports person or musician. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Talent

is God-gifted. Whether people can acquire

such

gift through hard work or not has always been a controversial topic. Some believe only talented children can truly excel in certain areas,

such

as sports or music, while others disagree. They believe

practice

is the key to success.

This

essay will shed light on both of the views before concluding with mine. Some people highlight that; one simply can’t outdo God given talents. People who are born with an inherent aptitude for skills,

such

as: singing, dancing, sports or music tend to put no or very less effort, in order to achieve incredible results.

For instance

, Mozart, one of the greatest musicians and influential composers of all times, not only exhibited his innate

talent

for music, but

also

performed for

the royal family

at a very young age.

Thus

, in the absence of

talent

, to reach to

this

level through conventional hard work and determination, will definitely take much longer comparatively.

Furthermore

, genetics

are

the reason why there are similar characteristics between the parents and a child. To exemplify, daughter born to a mother who is a great tennis player tends to have the skills not only through genetics but

also

the familiar environment.

Conversely

,

practice

makes perfect. Others believe that anybody with the right guidance, constant

practice

and appropriate circumstances can acquire the skills needed to excel in a particular field of desire; whether it may be artistic or athletic. According to a survey done by an Iranian sports journal in 2017, many participants of a football institute were able to excel and join the national football team by rigorous training,

practice

and exercise physiology.

Additionally

, environment and circumstances

such

as family support plays an important role in the success. A good illustration, would be Cristiano Ronaldo, who was born to a family of no athletic background, yet through his diligence, strong willingness, determination, and support from family he has been

known the greatest

known as the greatest

footballer of all times. In conclusion, even though both arguments have their own merits,

practice

and

talent

are not mutually exclusive. In order for a

talent

to outshine, it needs

practice

. A talented musician cannot be successful if he does not put any effort into

practice

.

Hence

, in my

opinion both

opinion, both

inborn skills and consistent

practice

are required in combination to achieve excellent results.
