you don't just "have" talent. It is either something that is developed, or something that is conferred onto you buy others. It is people recognise the discipline, and dedication you show to your work. And it is the ability to have the insight to stand apart from others. Talent can be broken into many small things, and changes its meaning with its context.
Like everything else really.

my opinion is: not the talented go far, they who work hard do.

dont you hate when you work really hard on a painting/drawing/design/poster, etc. and someone says "oh you're so talented, i wish i could do that."?
dont you feel it discredits all you've sacrificed for your art, all the hours you've worked, etc.
i think we are all stars. we're all special, some turn away from their gifts, or dont put the time in, and then are quick to sput off "you're so talented".
this is just my opinion.

moby agrees
- kelpie0
I agree with the hard work etc, but I think to an extent talent is , fo want of a better phrase, god given - having the eye to see things the right way and being able to interperate that into whatever media your working in. Applys more to drawing and painting though...

i'm even more convinced of mogwai's point now
- kelpie0
is that for me Kuz?
- Mimio0
That's just it...happenstance in life and human drama factor in just as much as a person's willingness.
- kelpie0
talent and hard work are not mutualy exclusive.

ok. but talent is always linked to some sort of action you do. yeah everyone's talented in something but some talents go more noticed than others. i don't think anyone is that interested in someone who's extremely talented in folding napkins. like someone would say: you're soooo talented :)
- kelpie0

- don't be hypnotised by the Talent god thesis. There is no god.
- wedgehead0
there are definatley talented people here on NT..there are also some dipshits..but dont judge by NT alone
- kelpie0
nope, not hypnotised by anything, just saying it like I see it :)
Though I do agree there is no God, that was a shite choice of words :)
