Talent

My definition of talent:
An aptitude or ability that was originally granted to everybody; all the people have some kind of talent, and the talents can be determined and developed through time and effort invested by individuals. It is like your wealth, because you naturally possess the wealth but can always control the wealth by yourself.

My talents:
I am neither extraordinary nor special, but I am unique. In a bad way, 'unique' can mean 'weird'. However, I admit that I am weird - I am different from everybody, simply out of the norm. Actually, my strangeness is what makes my talents palpable. When all my friends are scared of talking in public or making formal speeches in front of a crowd, I enjoy and sometimes become even more confident and calm when I talk to a large audience. That is why I love debates and presentations. I am not the best in debates because my knowledge and logics fail, but when talking persuasively, I am very energetic. My another weird character is enjoying a leader position. Many people choose to be followers, but I choose to be the person in spotlight. Sometimes I like to remain quiet, and this quiet image of me alarms the others when I suddenly speak up in front of them saying I want to show leadership. No matter what they say, that is just the way I am, and in most of the elections for leader positions I have not failed. The last talent I have is that I am determined. Not just plain 'determined', but tenacious and resilient. If I have a passionate goal, then I will endeavor and strive towards the goal no matter what interferes me. Most of the times, my lack of experience and intelligence pulls me down - I am certainly not smart, not athletic, not musical, and not artistic. However, the single, extremely determined talent propels me to conjure up miracles like winning in sports competitions or getting good grades. For I was gratefully gifted by God these three wonderful talents, I am happy enough to admit my weirdness, and follow my unique path to pursue those talents.
