Hello all, Let's discuss about talents. What talent do you have? I have a talent in teaching and singing. That why I become a teacher in a elementary school. I also teach the children in my church to sing. So, I try to use my talents in its optimum limit. Because if not, I will just waste my talents, and if I am not using my talents for the good of other, someday God will take it from me. I don't want it happens like that. So, I will use it in a maximum way. How about you?

oh let me think. May be may talents lie in mathematice and sports. I feel I've use them in a maximum way. I majors in electronic engineerning which uses a lot of math kownledge. hope I can use this technique to do sth. good to the society. And i do some sports everyday, take part in some competitions now and then. But obviously this is the maxumun use i can make about my sprots talent. I can never be Micheal Jordan or Phellips. I'm happy to be a sprots lover, not a professional athlete.

God has blessed me with a talent for singing, only I have refused to join up with the choir at my church because the songs they sing are so...ick. I can't stand them. That having been said, a couple of days ago, I received an opportunity to sing with the choir for a Tridentine Mass being held an hour away at the church my friend attends (he also sings in the choir). You have no idea how quickly I jumped at the chance! We'll be performing Gregorian chant, which makes me very happy. Deo gratias!

I'm more of a jack of all trades, master of none. I know a little of this and that. but i can't say i'm very talented in it. there are people who know it way better. for example i can draw, but not portraits. maybe anime, or a little structure, kid's stuff i guess. a friend of mine can draw extremely well. I can do photoshop, i read a little poetry, i know my way around computers well enough to destroy viruses, edit features, work study play. but i'm not a master of it. Those who do know they have a talent, should cherish it well. Glad to hear it you do use it to max. happy mylotting. :)

i have talent in singing and cooking. but honestly, i'm not utilizing this talent this past few years because i'm so busy with my work. when i was a child, i wanted to be a chef but i ended up in a different industry.

My talent has always been doing hair. When I was a teenager my girlfriends always asked me to do their hair when we were going out & they would ask me to cut it etc & I didn't even know how really, I learned just from watching my hairstylist...they always encouraged me to go to beauty school...I actually applied at college for something else & I didn't like it so then I decided why not try beauty school...well I have been doing hair for 11 years & I really enjoy it & I think that I am very good at it. I especially enjoy doing color, like dimensional color where you do more then one at a time, like highlights & lowlights together....and now have inherited the nickname the color queen! I also like to try new styles on people & I like to further my education whenever I get the chance by attending classes & workshops...

i don't think i have a lot talent, however i did have one that many people would admire and wish to have it too. i was a good writer before i moved to the uk. I wrote articles in my own language and made living by it. i really made some money for doing it. here i want to use my writting skill to develop my new life here,but in english. it just starts, i feel it's too difficult. so i spend a lot of my time on studying english first, wish one day i can write in english as well as native speaker, also i can make living by writting.

well, growing up i always considered myself talented. when it comes to sports, i learn faster than most of the people i know. i have always been exposed to sports and know a variety of them. the one though that i excelled the most was baseball. so i guess sports would be one of my talents. i'm not into singing but i do know how to play music. i play the guitar and a little piano. i'm not really good with them. the problem is that i easily lose interest when i am trying to learn something. in the beginning i would be very excited and practice everday. but once i already know how to do it, i don't really go for more. i agree with you too when you said that God takes away those talents that you never use for Him. i've seen that happen to me a few times. it's really biblical so there's even no need to argue about it. well, i'm glad that you have those talents hendritanbm! i hope you continue to glorify God with those talents!

I would say I am so blessed that God endowed me with so many talents. But along with talents come responsibilities. We are responsible to share these talents to others and possibly touch people's lives. I always believe that the greatest talent I have received is the ability to lead people. I have lead a number of people already. I am born to be a leader. Not everyone could be a leader, so I feel I should be grateful of this talent and be able to use it. I may not be the best leader and I have so many imperfections, but God knows I have 100 percent of my heart to everything that I do. Thank you. Happy mylotting!

My talent is also singing. But my range is not high enough, maybe say I am good in singing...., and it is hard to get any job with singing or become a singer. I am also good in IT, because I have been learning this for couple of years, including networking and programming. I was a IT technician in my own country, but I am not good with my memory so I leave networking and keep on studying programming in a tertiary school. In conclusion, I don't really have any talent and not yet maximize my professional skills.
