What Is Your Talent?

What a wonderful talent that is! I wish I had a gift for that. I was a youth director at one time in my earlier years in church work, but have since lost the ability to relate to them. I'm too much of the old school and they probably don't trust me.

A talent is a gift. In the music world (and this could get controversial) a person can not be taught to sing. There should not even be such a word as "Voice Teacher." Singing is a gift. Everyone has it to a certain degree; some with less degree, some with more. A better word than voice teacher should be "Voice Coach," or someone with the training to bring out the most of the talent that you nave been given. I don't know how I got off on that but the idea is the same. You are born with that ability to relate to children and teens and you should develop it to the fullest. In your case, experience is the best coach of your talent; not just your experience but the experience of those who are the best in the field. Study them, learn from them, and see how their techniques relate to your own. But only glean from them what is comfortable for you to use because each person is different.

It's tough to be open enough and remain true to ones faith. Somehow, well through my own faith and help from above, I get it. It's uncanny how it goes with me and I can explain it. I guess it's a gift more than a talent.

Thank you for sharing that with us. I wish the best for your dream of the Olympics. Your little one will be proud of you when she/he gets old enough to understand what you have accomplished. This, in turn, will be an inspiration to the child to strive for excellence in life. This also will be a benefit to us all.

As long as you're having fun at it how can you go wrong? Have you ever tried to do anything with your short stories like getting them published maybe? I know it's hard to get anything published. Many times (as in my case) we go into it with a negative outlook so we've struck out before we even begin. Good luck in your endeavors.

I actually have one submitted to a place now for consideration, and I'm entered in two contests. Just waiting to hear the results.

Let me know when you hear the results. I would be interested to know.

I can see your creativity in the way you express yourself when you write; and I have felt you ability to empathize as well, even in your writing. Maybe that is why I look forward to your posts. Have you ever done any social work? You might want to give that some thought. Thanks for your response mentalward.

You know there are ways to get an education at home. Why don't you explore the possibilties? The only thing you'll have to out of the house for is first hand experience which I'm sure will be required. Never say it's too late and never give up.

Funny you should mention social work. My mother was a social worker with the State for, I think, 13 years. She was a teacher before that but disliked being sent from one school to another by the State. She worked in foster care. The thing about this was that she'd come home and cry on MY shoulder! I was her sounding board. Yes, I've given it some thought in the past. I'd need to go back to school, though, for the proper degree before anyone would consider hiring me. These days, life experiences are generally not enough to get hired. Employers want to see that diploma! I don't have the health to go back to school, or even to hold down a steady job, even part time. I don't know when I'm going to feel 'bad' as opposed to 'very bad' from day to day. So, I just do what I can when I can for the people I know and those I meet. It's had it's rewards, too. I've met a few really great people (yourself included) who care enough about me in return who would do what they could to keep a smile on my face.

I saw someone play a guitar like that one time on tv! That was one of the most amazing things I ever saw. You are very fortunate to have that talent and I would love to see it. And to add the other talents with it makes it that much more fantastic. Congratulations! You should always be a popular person. Keep up the good work. It brings a smile and sense of wonder to the eyes of people.

Yeah, I am well known in our school. Whenever there's a program in our school I'm the one who does the front act. It not only bring smile but amazement to the audience. And I'm so happy that I made it. Some says that what I did was something magical. I was really flattered when someone told me that and your friends and professors would tap your back with them saying, "Great!, Very good, nice!". I remember our college dean shakes my hand and told me that it was amazing.

Congratulations on a great talent. This will be very useful to you in the future. And congratulations on being published too. I'm sure you will be very successful because your speed typing will allow you to turn out a greater volume of material at a much faster pace than the average "Hunt and Peck" typist. This also shows that you have a very quick mind which is necessary for success. Good luck in all your endeavors.

Thanks, I'm sure that you will achieve success also. Goodluck with everything you are doing. Andrew

There you are. More talent to bring joy to others; especially children. Have you ever made any of these toys for children? Thanks for the response.

Oh I'm sure your family is very proud of you. You're right. I couldn't imagine a life without music either. Keep singing!

I hope they are... I will Rock On and have a nice day! Xp

Thanks for the response cyclegmom1400. That does take a real talent. That is also a talent I am not blessed with. Good luck in whatever you sell.

If you are not already doing it maybe you could start your own computer repair business. There is a great need for that. Thanks for the response

Thanks singout. I will think about it. But as of the moment, I am busy with my present profession. This coming holidays, we will be having our yearly family reunion and I plan to create a dance number for my nieces and nephews. I sure hope they will like it !

God knew this talent was needed and that is probably why he gave it to you. Keep using it. People everywhere need it badly in this world full of so much uncertainty. Thank you so much

I don't think you're weird at all. I rarely sing secular songs either. There's nothing wrong with that. So what if you are a late bloomer in the field of children's fantasy. Children need to dream too and what better source of fantasy than by someone who has already experienced those childhood years. Keep up the good work and continue to sing for Him. He will bless you for it.

Ah, a person with multiple talents. Congratulations. I hope you use them all to their fullest potential. Of course I'm prejudiced about singing since i am a musician as well. Keep using your talents for God in your church. It will be blessed. God promised. Thanks for sharing.

There is nothing which is needed more in today's world than something that brings joy to people. Magic is a very special talent which does just that. However, I must admit that sometimes it does make me a little frustrated when I can't figure out how certain tricks are done. I wish I had that talent but I don't, so I will have to be content to watch it in awe. And do you realise how important it is to able to speak other languages? Congratulations! Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure what is meant by "gaming." If by gaming you mean electronic games, then your proficiency at it is just evidence of an underlying talent which needs to be explored. Examine yourself as to what it takes to be good at gaming. When you decide what it is then develop that skill for your livelihood. For instance, if you discover that you must have good hand/eye coordination to be good at gaming, then look for something in life that takes that kind of skill. Good luck to you in your seach for your specialty.

Those are great talents and you should explore them all and find one you are best at; develop it and you might be surprised at what you can accomplish. Good luck to you and thanks for the response.

This is a fundamental belief about where talent comes from. After all, God made us to be able to take care of ourselves as humans and thus the talents he has created within us. Your oratory skill was surely given to you for the purpose of praising Him and helping others to thank Him for all the wonderful things He has given us. God bless you for recognising that talent and using it the way it was intended.

Thanks for the response sjfgod. What you said is true.
