Talent talk

Some people were born to sing and others to write the songs, some to paint, draw and others to rule the world. Whereas a college degree may be considered as the non-optional requirement for a good job for a great life, talent also comes in handy for those who use them well.

Some people were born to sing and others to write the songs, some to paint, draw and others to rule the world.

Whereas a college degree may be considered as the non-optional requirement for a good job for a great life, talent also comes in handy for those who use them well.

Manchester City’s loaned footballer, Emmanuel Adebayor always thanks soccer for saving him from poverty in his homeland, Togo. Not even education would have made the 27-year-old wealthy so fast.

On the other hand, Mark Zuckerberg was not athletic, but a computer genius. His co-invention of ‘Facebook’ has made him the world’s youngest billionaire.

Some people opt to trying out their gifts as ‘Plan B’. There are many stories of people who have became successful through talent, after failing school or other expected opportunities.

Fate also indirectly forces people to use their talents. An example in this category can be people who engage in volleyball for the disabled after an accident or long illnesses.
 
Most teens chase after seemingly paying talents like music at the expense of lowly ones like interpreting or translating languages. That is why there are thousands of famous musicians on earth but billions more of unknown successful people.

Every teen has a chance to live with money and fame if they give priority to their true talents and nurture them in time.
