It's generally believed that success in fields such as art and sport can only be achieved if a person has natural talent. However, it's sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good sports person or artist. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

It is often argued that some
people
can complete their work or
talents
because they have
skills
since they were born and it is innate
talents
, while other
people
think that we can teach them to succeed in their field.
This
essay will discuss both arguments and I will give my own perspective. On the one hand,
talents
are found by yourself when you discover something that you think is easy and you prefer to do it. It has lots of
talents
such
as genius, sports, arts, or dances but every person does not know their own
skills
if they never try these activities.
For instance
, Einstein knew that he enjoyed Physics and he always found new inspirations that can lead to new innovations. It is true that he has a high IQ but if he does not practice, he will not succeed in the experiments.
However
, practice cannot work in every field
such
as Mathematics.
People
who have a high IQ can solve the equation because IQ is related to the brain and it involves genetic which cannot change.
On the other hand
, some
talents
can improve by practice
such
as drawing, painting, or sports. We can enhance these
skills
but it takes a long time to succeed if we do not have talent.
For example
, the body of each athlete is not the same. It depends on the physical environment
such
as eating, sleeping or training.
That is
why a lot of sports players always train and control their eating behaviour.
Then
, they can overcome those who were born with strong bodies or incredible
skills
. In conclusion, talent can make
people
complete their goals and some fields cannot succeed without genius
such
as Math. In my opinion,
talents
are making
people
complete their aims faster than ordinary
people
. Practices can
also
make you reach the same goals but use much more time to prepare.
