RE: Inspirational Quotes: Champions are Bred, not Born [Discuss]
Certain people are born with certain talents or gifting. But if they fail to horn it to their advantage, it would be a waste. Most people are just normal, i.e. without much skills and talents, but with hardwork and determination, they can develop the skills they desire. Definitely champions are bred not born!
I think often the failing lay with their parents. A parent or guardian can play a major role in nurturing natural talent in a child. I believe most people appear 'normal' because their talent has been overlooked or ignored when they were young.
Often kids are fed into the status quo (academia, corporate jobs) and expected to flourish when not all are naturally predisposed to such environments.
However there does come a point in life, where regardless of your circumstances, you need to 'breed'/ develop yourself into becoming a champion!
Parent or guardian is definitely very crucial. Other areas also includes facilities, programmes and opportunities should be available. There are still many countries and areas that are lacking in these opportunities, hence, they will not have the opportunity to excel.
Hello @praz735u5
I believe what has stifled the talents of many individuals is the popular narrative of going to school and getting a white collar job.
Majority of the people who made impact in the world today are people who ignored the narrative and worked on their talents.
If you tell the average person to list ten celebrities or people of Value they know, the list will be filled with sportsmen, musicians, actors/actresses, and all these things are the innate talent people are born with.
I believe that no one came into this world empty handed, it is left to parents and guardians to help to nuture the talents of every child.
@ogochukwu
This is very true. More and more people are pursuing areas of their talents as compared to previously. In addition to parents and guardians, facilities and opportunities are crucial as well.
