Is talent inborn or acquired? It is often discussed whether or not talent is inborn or if it is acquired through practice. When I saw the performing of Yuna-Kim, a figure skater, I felt she was born with talent. But I saw the documentary about her story and overwhelmed by her rigorous training. It's obvious we are born with our parent's traits like their genes and characteristics. And there are various environments around us. I can't dismiss these factors. These factors effect person to show their ability. Like many diseases are inherited from the generation. But we can't sure that a baby of the most famous musician would be a musician too. I think that this is a game of possibility. The possibility to become one of kind would be increased if someone has talented parents, good environment to do something. But despite all of the obstacle, there are people who get their ways with practice. Let's suppose that there are two people. The one has talented parents and the other hasn't but both of them practice for the same time and with the same passion. I would say that the former has more possibility of success than the other. But who knows? It's just a mere prediction.

Is talent inborn or acquired?

It is often discussed whether or not talent is inborn or if it is acquired through practice. When I saw the performing performance of Yuna-Kim, a figure skater, I felt she was born with talent. But I saw the documentary about her story and was overwhelmed by her rigorous training.

It's obvious we are born with our parent's traits, like their genes and characteristics, and are influenced by the there are various environments around us (or: and are influence by various factors in our surrounding environments). I can't dismiss these factors. These factors effect affect how an individual person to  expresses show their ability. Like many diseases are inherited from the generation. But we can't sure that a baby of the most famous musician would be a musician too.  In the way that physical traits like diseases can be genetic or hereditary, we cannot be sure that talent is genetic in the same way. 

I think that this is a game of possibility chance. The possibility  probability to become one of kind a certain way  or to have a certain talent would be increased if one has talented parents and the environment is nurturing of the trait environment to do something. But despite all of the obstacle (In spite of it all ), there are people who get their ways with practice.

Let's suppose that there are two people, one has talented parents and the other hasn't but both of them practice for the same time and with the same passion. I would say that the former has more possibility  (a higher probability) of success than the other the latter. But who knows? It's just a mere prediction speculation.
