Most

people

would opine that most sportsmen and artists become successful due to their natural

talent

.

however

, another group would oppose

this

opine ,claiming that any youngster can be taught to become a good sportsman or artist even though they do not have any inborn

talents

.

Although

some

people

may inherit their

talent

genetically , most

children

who have enthusiasm about these fields can become good artists or sportspeople,

this

writer opines that any

person

with good ambition would teach these

talents

.

To begin

with, the

talents

such

as music , arts , dancing and

sports

are not commonly present in every

person

in the community .

Moreover

, some young

children

may express their

talents

at

such

a young age may be inherited from their parents , because most of the parents of these talented

children

were known artists and

sports

personals .

For example

, most of the young singers who participate in the Derana little star , a Sri Lankan reality show were

children

of known singers in the country .

hence

, we have to accept the fact that

talent

can naturally come to a child.

On the other hand

, most talented

people

in the fields of

sports

and arts came from mainly by practising rather than using their natural

talents

.

Furthermore

, they all have significant enthusiasm about these fields and most of the time they were taught by one of the good teachers in the field.

For example

, great Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara was once said , that he has become a good cricketer due to practice rather than using his natural

talents

.

Hence

, we have to accept that, any young child can become a talented

person

by teaching. In summary , even though some

people

argue about the requirement of

talent

over the practice to become a good sportsman or artist , there is enough evidence in the world that , talented personals can be generated by teaching .

Hence

this

writer believes that any young

person

with a good target and commitment can become a pioneer in

sports

or arts ,even without an inborn

talent

.
