Talent is gift,ability or potential which is deposited inside us by the creator.No one man can achieve success alone.Do you think the man you see on the tv screen is there by his own power?No,there are people who are working in the background for the success of what the man on tv is doing.The concept of a self-made man is untrue.What of the source that gave him or her the talent Talent is dormant,raw,it's proper utilization needs mining,purification and harnessing.Whether you are a writer,singer,banker,trader,doctor,lawyer,public speaker,pastor,student,e.t.c,for you to achieve success with your talent,you need to avail yourself of some opportunities which can and will better your talent.Some of them are: 1)PRACTICE:-Practice sharpens your talen.People don't reach the fullness of their talent unless they practice to there. 2)BELIEF:Belief lifts your talent,it's a guarantee.The first and greatest obstacle to success is belief in yourself.Lack of belief can act as a ceiling on talent.Your talent or potential is a picture of what you can become.Belief helps you visionize your future and reach for it. 3)ATTITUDE:Your attitude has an impact on your talent and how you utilize it.Attitude is everything.Your attitude not your aptitude determines your altitude.You need a positive attitude to make it in life.Negative attitude stagnates and draws you back from success.Your attitude is your altitude. 4)POWER OF MASTERMIND ALLIANCE:This is one of the greatest venues that launches you fast to success.Mastermind alliance is established when you relate or teamwork with people with ability or talent that will better yours.The goodness of this group or alliance is that it benefits and brings success to all.Teamwork multiplies your talent,relationships strengthens your talent. 5)TEACHABILITY:I.T.k.=I TOO KNOW,is a devil which has demonized some people,they can't cool down to learn from others,or their own experiences.Infact,there are people who are incorrigible though they are talented they can't achieve success because only a tree can never make a forest.I have something to learn from anyone i meet everyday.If you think you know it all then you don't know anything.Mentoring is good and boosts your talent.
