ChimpGrip Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Who here actually believes everyone has a talent of some kind? To me, it sounds like a BS, feel-good statement. Some people are gifted in some way and many are not. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is clear is that every person can do somethings better than others. I am sure that, that's true. Now if you ask: Is everyone above average at something? That is not true at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I should have worded the question differently. I think the latter part of your post is what I was aiming to get.

Everyone got talent, maybe it’s counting numbers, juggling, being able to crush things with your hands, some people got photographic memory, some can kick a football 50+ yardss me? My talent? I can go into a home where there has been a murder or suicide, and not be grossed out, and clean the shit out of the apartment so the owner can rent out the apartment like nothing happened 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My talent? I can go into a home where there has been a murder or suicide, and not be grossed out, and clean the shit out of the apartment so the owner can rent out the apartment like nothing happened Seems to me I either have no talent or I’m talented in something I don’t care about (hence why I haven’t “discovered” it) Seems like everyone (most, not all) are very good at something without much effort. Whether they’re exceptionally intelligent, have artistic ability, can close big grippers within three months of training, etc. Meanwhile I’ve been preached to to strive for a life that is good but is mediocre in the big picture. To play it safe. Get a job that has benefits and good retirement and all that bullshit.... I’m rambling on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps most individuals can, at least those that are considered, "normal." But to be superior you not only need to have some basic level of intelligence, but also the dedication to properly learn your craft. Due to laziness, personal circumstances, and other factors, many individuals never attain such superiority. That does not mean they are any less human and should be treated with derision, as I do believe in according basic respect for all human beings, talented or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
