My personal thoughts about talent:- Talent is overrated<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before I am going to start talking about this\u00a0controversial\u00a0topic. Which is about how talent is overrated and all. I would like to state that I am not an expert in the matter, and I am not claiming that all what\u00a0I am saying is %100 accurate. But it is the best I could came up with giving what I currently know. This is pretty much why the category of this post is “Drawing Thoughts” and not “Drawing Facts” :)<\/p>\n

Also, I am not going to try to decide if talent actually exist. While I am personally\u00a0against\u00a0the concept of talent. if it exists. Talent is overrated at best. And usually the\u00a0handwork\u00a0and commitment part is pretty much underestimated too. And this is pretty much easy to see in media like Anime, which is pretty sad to be honest.<\/p>\n

Different people have different abilities, use what you already have<\/strong><\/h2>\n

People have different abilities and brains. Some people are much better at\u00a0memorising, and some others are much better at grasping things, and so on. The key, in my opinion, is to use what you already have to achieve what you want. Which comes through hard work.<\/p>\n

If talent existed, and someone did not work hard\u00a0enough\u00a0on it. That person is not going to achieve anything\u00a0with that talent, and he or she won’t be able use it in their career or create a product or do anything meaningful<\/p>\n

Examples from real-life<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I for one, don’t like to focus\u00a0that\u00a0much on details. I feel like my head is not functioning well when it comes to very detailed drawings. But I could still create detailed drawing by zooming in and zooming out. I use my big-picture way of thinking to create the guidelines of a drawing. Then I keep zooming-in to add details here and there, and I often switch between different parts of the drawing so I won’t get bored. At the end, my\u00a0perfectionism will allow me to finish and add all the details I want to(perfectionism\u00a0and aversion from details did not seem to go well together here,\u00a0ahaha~).’<\/p>\n

Another good example in talent in how people tend to think that height is so important in basketball. And that short people has no chance to succeed at it. Short players may have disadvantage at the game that they\u00a0may not hold a certain position I think. The\u00a0interesting\u00a0fact is, there are many good advantages to being a short\u00a0football\u00a0player, to list some of them here\u00a0fairly\u00a0quickly:-<\/p>\n
