Everybody Is Good At Something

Act 56:

“It’s never too late… To Find Your True Talent

Some know it from childhood. Some never find it. But we all have special talents. Take the time to explore yours. It may be disguised. It may be undeveloped. But trust your instincts. Give yourself the opportunity. It will be there.” – Patrick Lindsay

Quote in book: “Genius is merely a greater aptitude for patience.” ~ Comte de Buffon

I think it’s true that everyone has a true talent. The problem is that I don’t really know what mine is. I’ve thought about it. I’m really “good” at a lot of things, but I don’t think any of them are really talents. Maybe my true talent is that I’m an “all-arounder”. When I was a kid, I was in gymnastics. I wasn’t really excellent in anyone event (not like a specialist), but I was really good in all four events. I was what they called an “all-arounder”, so I think that is true about my life in general. I’m not great at any one thing, but I’m pretty darn good at most everything I try (well for the most part). I can adapt well and pick up things quickly.

But if forced to pick a true talent (that is not the cop-out that I picked above), I’d have to say that I have a really good ear for music and melodies. I can pick up songs very quickly and recognize songs (sing the chorus) just after listening to it one time. In fact, I just finished making a game where you have to play “name the song”. I would rock at it, but unfortunately, I made it so I can’t play it w/ anyone. I’m hoping someone will make one for me to play! HINT HINT!!! Haha

What is your true talent? Everyone has one, so don’t say you don’t. It could be that you can pick up things w/ your feet or make funny noises w/ your nose or mouth. I’d like to know what you’re true talent is… Or what you think it is. Maybe I can help some of you come up w/ one… cause it took me a while to think of something.
