The ability to consider yourself to have talent is to believe that your skills are good and outstanding. Meaning everyone has talent no matter the impact or “wow” factor it causes on others. Some examples of talents that usually don’t come to mind when thinking about the word talent are having great leadership skills. In the journal “Mindset embraces sales skills and talents” by Leanne Haogland-Smith, she analysis that people who have the attitude of a candid leader have a special talent that allows them to succeed in many management and business roles. The author further analyzes that these individuals strive with skills that not many people have as they build trust between people giving them an interpersonal talent. Having an interpersonal talent means you could have an empathetic outlook, great persuasion skills, or just being able to relate to others. Another talent is having a humorous personality, being able to change the atmosphere of a situation just with your personality is a talent that should be valued as not many have the confidence or personality type to make another person react positively because of your humor.

I enjoyed reading Disciplined Hearts by Theresa O'Nell because i find that many people today do not know a lot about the Native American culture and what they have been through. Their cultures history is not talked about as much the African American or Hispanic's are.

I think O'Nell is trying to talk about the history of the Native American culture because, she believes that the reason that their culture is not well-known because of the fact that they have chosen to keep living like their ancestors and not assimilate to the American culture.

Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell was trying to convey that successful people such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and the Beatles were famous due to external factors such as birthplace, family status and right timing. Basically saying that it's not just the hardest working people who become successful. It’s the ones who were graced with the right opportunities and that successful people are the ones who take advantage of them. I have strong feelings about this topic and felt myself disagreeing with a lot of the books ideas and concepts. What is talent?

I can easily overlook the differences in other people, and this is what helps me get along with almost anyone that I come across.

Interpersonal communication can be used in our workplace, in our personal life and has even been found in the most recently developed type of communication through the internet. When dealing with careers it is very important, if the person is unable to communicate well with their coworkers and supervisors they will more likely not be able to succeed in their field as well as a person who has great interpersonal communication skills.

What is Talent? “Talent is a natural aptitude or skill” (World English Dictionary). Everybody has their own and unique talent hidden inside them, some people may be lucky enough to find out what their talent is during their journey, while others are not. In my opinion everyone has a specific talent however, most of the individuals do not know or have found their talents, or at least have problems describing them.
