It is true that success is when preparation meets opportunity and the vice versa. But it is also true that success is when talent meets opportunity. Who doesn’t have a talent in this world? None. But how many people are using their talents effectively? Few. But in my case studies, I found out that most of successful people are so because they utilized their talents effectively. You might not know what a talent is. A talent is a natural ability, skill, creativeness or an artistic aptitude. If any talent meets opportunity, that’s when we say someone is very successful. Look, Thomas Edison never did well in school and his teachers always demoralized him. But it is his experimental talents and physics’ genius that made him invert the electric bulb and become among the successful people the world as ever known. Even Steve Jobs, Michael Jordan, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates, Dale Carnegie, Oprah Winfrey, JK Rowling, Mike Tyson and other successful people had to pursue their talents to become what they are today. Some of them had to drop school to pursue their talents. Some of them had to quit high paying jobs only to pursue their talents. This shows how important a talent is in ones journey to success. It is a call to you and me to cultivate our talents so as to shorten our success journey.

A word from the author.
A talent is a gift that is given to you by God. Either use it or he will take it away and give it to another person. (more spiritual)
