Let’s go into the definitions of talent and keep in mind: Everyone’s got a talent or probably several of them.
So, with that in mind make the most out of it: “Stop wasting your talents waiting for the right time!”
Unfortunately, not everyone’s aware of it or must even hide it from others such as family, society etc. Everyone’s talents are unique. Let your strengths speak for you. Show what is inside you.
Some might not have the chance to live out their talents as their making of a living keeps them quite busy – and the professional life only in best cases matches one’s true talents (or vice versa).
An aptitude is a component of a competence to do a certain kind of work at a certain level. Outstanding aptitude can be considered “talent”. An aptitude may be physical or mental. Aptitude is inborn potential to do certain kinds of work whether developed or undeveloped.
Ability is developed knowledge, understanding, learned or acquired abilities (skills) or attitude. The innate nature of aptitude is in contrast to skills and achievement, which represent knowledge or ability that is gained through learning.
Old English “talente”, “talentan” (as a unit of weight), from Latin “talenta”, plural of “talentum” ‘weight, sum of money,’ from Greek “talanto”.
When used as a measure of money, it refers to a talent-weight of gold or of silver.
Talent management is the science of using strategic human resource planning to improve business value and to make it possible for companies and organizations to reach their goals.
