Discover your Hidden Talent


Every person in this world is unique and every one is blessed with one or more talent. Some people are lucky to identify their talent early in their life whereas some others fail to recognize them throughout their life. Let us look at some of the ways by which you can identify your hidden talent.

At a very early age, it is the duty of the parents to make their child do some activities or involve them in small tasks. As the child takes up some activities, there would be some tasks which looks interesting for them. Watch how the child is performing in those activities. Classify those activities on the basis of physical or mental category. Narrow down further into the amount of mind power or physical power is required to do those activites. Now note down various other factors required for those activities like focus, concentration, alertness, stamina, strength, endurance, eye movements, hand-eye coordination, listening skills, responsive skills, communication skills, patience, persistence etc. Rate the performance of your child on these factors. You may further drill down on these factors to get a better picture of your child's abilities. As you get some idea on the strong areas of your child, give your child more activities related to that area  so that the child keeps on improving their strength. At the same time make sure the child overcomes their weak areas by continuous practice and repetition. 

As an adult, it is good to involve yourself in a certain passion, hobby or interest. If you would like to pick up a new skill, try to explore more on the coaches or mentors who offer trainings on those skills. You may also look for some good online courses based on the reviews. Apart from that, there are also lot of free resources available in the Internet to aid you in your learning process.

As you learn, make it a point to practice daily. The more you learn and practice, the more you polish your skills. As you continue further, you would find yourself slowly becoming an expert in this new skill. It requires patience, persistence, passion and perseverance to make sure that you discover your hidden talent. Once you discover your hidden talent, participate in various events, competitions and challenges to know where you stand. Attending events also helps in meeting like minded people who are also in the same journey as yourself. Once you interact with them, you would get lot of valuable information from them that would help you in your rediscovery process.

  2. As far as a child is concerned, the parents have to make a significant effort to unearth talents but as adults, the duty lies with us. A very informative post. Until we explore, we might never know what we are truly capable of!

  3. Practice and perseverance are more important than natural talent, I think.
