Answer 1

Everybody has different abilities they are born with, I'm very good in art, painting and drawing come very easy to me; but I couldn't hit a baseball if my life depended on it!
I think you might be interested in reading about the theory of multiple intelligences, there is even a test you can take to see which type of intelligence you have. These intelligences refer to aspects you have a higher or lower ability to do, Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"):
Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
Musical intelligence ("music smart")
Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")
they are also in some way connected to the different ways you learn. I have included some links, but if you want more information e-mail me your address and I'll forward you some documents I have on this topic.

Answer 2

Human beings have multiple intelligences. Each person has a unique set of talents and abilities. If we have a talent for something, it seems like we can do it so easily and naturally. If not, we have to learn the techniques that we need to survive.

So, the answer is, we do both, but it depends on the area you are talking about. We don't all do it the same way.

;-D And luckily for us I might add, or life would really be boring!

Answer 3

Both methods of acquiring ability exist. Some have natural talents for certain skills or natural understandings of certain concepts. Others must work, study, or practice exceptionally hard.

Those who truly become masters of their field, sport, or ability--those who make history--have BOTH. They are born with an internal propensity to grow in a given area. They discover that area and it is fostered by those around them. They work hard and become the very best, brightest, strongest, and so forth.

Unfortunately (in both cases) there are people who never discover or hone their special gift. It is never fostered or developed. They still have an internal propensity, but it does not grow. There are also some who have very little internal talent, skill or propensity, but they have a desire--passion for learning or developing despite their lack of aptitude. They gut it out, spend hours, days, weeks studying or practicing...only to become only GOOD but never truly great.

I hope whatever your special gift is...you find it, foster it, nurture it and become the very best!
