Recommended: Teamwork is essential to business success

The fact that you have a talent does not make you skilled. It takes hard work to develop skills and to make talent effective. As a speaker, I put in some hours to work on my radio presentations, video productions and article compositions. I get up at the crack of dawn and go to bed in the early hours of the morning. It was the work ethic that put me in front of people to become a paid speaker and coach. Some people think if you teach others a secret method that is working; it’s going to get saturated. It doesn’t matter how much to love to give people solutions and to help them to get out of their situations, some people are wired to live in the land of excuses.

Tobi has found the discipline to expose the secret method that will help our youths …show more content…

Tobi made it abundantly clear that we are all living-gold mines of raw abilities awaiting discovery, and refinement into products that can meet a need in the marketplace. However, success is a function of association. Turning a great talent into a great success requires right association. Influence is the ultimate end-product of association. The quality and sustainability of such influences is also largely determined by commitment to be disciplined to the demands of result-generating principles in this book.

Teamwork and right influences can turn a talent into a world of trailblazing achievement and landmark for generations. Talent breeding talents is the motto for the future. Tobi has challenged us to go ahead and plunge into the unknown, reach deep into your innermost self develop and share whatever ability you find underneath your ' 'mind-crust" for the good of others and before you know it the enrichment of sharing will be rushing towards you in torrents. There is always room for improvement perfection a myth, always has been, nobody is talent-void.

  • It’s All About the Drive in Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell

    I have no doubt that the amount of practice each individual put into their craft played a large part in their career paths and overall success. However, I have to disagree that “opportunity” was the distinguishing factor in their success over others. More important than simply having an opportunity is seeing that opportunity where others don’t and having the drive and passion to work hard and put in the necessary hours to turn that opportunity into a success.

  • Fine Arts Programs Should Be Kept in Schools

    Performing or public speaking of any kind is difficult, but that difficulty can help to build confidence. Fine arts gives students the ability to perform and build confidence with their own support team of people who do and love the same thing. Not having to perform alone and knowing that everything possible has been done to ensure a good performance helps performers be confident in themselves and in their abilities. “Puneet Jacob, former choristers and current assistant conductor, says kids are often afraid to perform because of fear of failure.” (Lefebvre) The more a person faces their fear, especially when they do well and the fear is disproved, the less afraid he or she will become. When students work on music or a play for months on end, they become much more confident in themselves and what they can do than they were when they first began.

    Talent is the inherent aptitude that a person has, preparation is the development of a skill, and an opportunity is a pathway to success. Talent could be a possible factor for success, but it is often not very significant. For example, as I have stated before, I never really had an inherent ability to communicate with anyone. Only through talking with people did I really develop these skills. Therefore, preparation or just simple practice is far more important than talent. My opportunity to exercise those social skills has allowed me to excel in many of my extracurricular activities, as well as allowing me to form new

  • Success in Society and in America

    Since the beginning of time, the debate over success has shaped the way countries have implemented policies and incentives towards maximizing all talent available to them. Some have obviously been more successful at creating sustainable communities than others, and the reasons are often unclear as to why the intellectual and economic gaps between societies exist. Factors like geographic location and natural resources obviously play a part, in which case the next logical question would be whether these factors are the primary reasons for the success of a flourishing society as opposed to the people and their important talents that the society may consist of. The roots of such differences can be traced down to the very origins of success, and only by clearly defining the term can any society seek to separate itself from the rest of the world. In its most basic form, success consists of opportunities. Without opportunities, no matter how brilliant a person may be, they will be lost among the thousands of individuals possessing the same talents or intelligence. Therefore, success is determined by the extent as to which a person takes advantage of his or her own opportunities, and societies that provide the most amounts of opportunities for their citizens will always be running far beyond the competition.

    No one would expect musicians to pick up an instrument and play without being taught how to play it. They are taught to play the instrument and they invest endless hours before this expertise is reached. Without knowing that, it 's easy to jump to conclusions and assume that they have always been this good all the way. If you have a goal and you feel that you don 't have the talent to achieve it, whether you believe it or not, you already have the necessary skill required to achieve it. The missing piece of the mystery is not that you lack talent, but to invest the hard work. Instead of seeing talent as something inborn in others, recognize that talent is inborn in you as well. You just need to put in the hours to bring it out of

    I’ve learned that it’s better to think out of the box than always stick to the same routine. You can compete in an ever-changing marketplace if you’re always doing the exact same thing. Sometimes you have to let go of what’s not working instead of trying to fix it, as not everything and everyone are fixable. More importantly this case study affirmed that staying true to what you believe in, allowing your natural abilities to shine, and caring about the overall welfare of all parties involved are at the core of being a great

    The sweet spots are the subject of chapter 1 of Daniel Coyle’s book The talent code : Greatness isn’t born. It’s grown. Here’s how. In this chapter, Coyle defining talent as “the possession of repeatable skills that don't depend on physical size” (p. 11). He contrasts the general way to explain that talent is simply a combination of genes and environment, a.k.a nature and nurture (p. 14). The main idea to be conveyed by him is how to grow talent and built skills in any discipline by deep practice. He made a smaller arguments to explain more about deep practice using Bjork, the chair of psychology at UCLA arguments “struggling in certain targeted ways, operating at the edges of your ability, make mistakes to makes you smarter, or put a slightly different way, experiences where you're forced to slow down, make errors, and correct them”. He also strengthen his argument using Bjork theory, which describes that the human brain can work efficiently through test and continuous challange. This method applied when we find the ‘sweet spot', the point where learning starts. “It's all about finding the sweet spot. There's an optimal gap between what you know and what you're trying to do.
