In our generation today people are told to pursue their
own passion and think their persistence will triumph over talent or skill. I
believe in pursing our passion but our best path in life is in the
understanding the difference between passion, talent or skill which has been
confused and misunderstood by many today.
Please can you allow me give my opinion on passion,
talent and skill?
If your answer is yes! let us take a look at the
difference between passion, talent and skill.
What
is Passion? Passion simply put is “what you love doing” the enthusiasm or excitement for something or
to do something e.g. Singing, teaching etc.
What
is Talent? Talent simply put is “what you were born with” the natural capability to do something
better than others. E.g. painting, drawing, a higher lung capacity to blow a
saxophone.
What
is Skill? Skill simply put is “something you earn by practice” Skill is the actual physical
repetitive performance of a task, though it comes naturally with some people
than others but skill is only developed through practice (repetition). According
to the 10,000 hour rule, it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert
in any particular field.
At
Super Star No. 1 Academy we help our students discover their
passion and talent and make them practice and practice until they become
dazzlingly skilled (Super Stars) in the discovered field.
Success is when our passion, talent and skill align; in
part 2 we shall discuss how to align these three elements to become a success
in life.
