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.

Today, the arguments about
talents

are widely controversial. Some
people
Use synonyms
say that certain
people

are born naturally with some specific
talents
Use synonyms
,
such

as sport or music, whilst others think that they can be learnt to accomplish that.
Therefore
Linking Words
, in
this
Linking Words
essay, I would like to examine those 2 views as well as provide a plausible conclusion regarding that matter. 
To begin
Linking Words
with, it is true that some
people
Use synonyms
may be born with
talents
Use synonyms
, but those are nothing, if the
people
Use synonyms
, who have them, do not have attitudes toward their gifts.
For instance
Linking Words
, based on my knowledge, I had a friend
that is
Linking Words
really good at playing the violin. She always played it perfectly, but she was very arrogant and never accepted any suggestions or criticisms which made her talent did not improve in 3 years. After I was in the senior year in high school, she was beaten by a new student, who was really friendly and open to any suggestions.
This
Linking Words
attitude helps him to always fix what is wrong when he played the violin. So, if you never learn from mistakes and accept the suggestions, your ability only stops at that level and never rises.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, some who born with no
talents
Use synonyms
, actually, can learn them. In
this
Linking Words
modern world, there are many courses that teach beginner to get that ability.
For example
Linking Words
, in Indonesia, there is a Djarum foundation that teaches many young generations who have an interest in playing badminton.
Also
Linking Words
, I have heard that it always reminds the students to keep their motivations high. It is the only reason to be the best badminton player.
Thus
Linking Words
, by
this
Linking Words
example, we know that to be good at something, you do not need natural
talents
Use synonyms
, but all you need are high dreams and motivations. In a nutshell, even though some
people
Use synonyms
may have natural gifts, but if they do not have attitudes, they can not be good at it.
However
Linking Words
,
people
Use synonyms
, who know their limitations, may do well in that field.
Hence
Linking Words
, I think,
people
Use synonyms
, who learn from scratch, maybe more successful than their opponents.
