argue that any child could learn anything they want and be a future athlete or,

, a pianist.
This

essay will argue that any person, independent of age or talent, could learn different types of technical skills and become anything they wish. It is often said that

are born with talents for several arts or skills, and it can be noticeable from an early age. Those

can easily have a good career in life,
for example

However

are born with no talent at all and parents think that they do not have any type of artistry for sports or instruments, which can be very frustrating. In my opinion, I strongly disagree with the
last

point of view and I would say that anyone can be taught to become good in anything they want. It is a matter of fact that if you are born with some good talents, you will succeed easily in some activities, but at the same time, if you did not find your competence yet, it does not mean you could not learn something new and be good at it. Due to that, it is known that between the ages 5 and 10, kids will start asking the moms and dads to try some new activities at school, and

the stage of life that the family should encourage the kids to try new things and let them build different abilities.
For instance

, a famous ballerina from Brazil called Ana Daniela started her classical ballet studies at the age of 15, which some think is too late but, today she is considered one of the best ballerinas in the world because,
firstly

she believed in herself and
also

, her mother agreed that even without any talent for dance, she could learn. In conclusion, despite some agree that
people

are born with good abilities to be an artist or a famous musician and
others

can not because of lack of skills, I believe that any person can learn new things in life and It is all about embracing the learn and believing in themselves.
