The word Talent has been used in different ways during the past years. Like you mentioned the word defination of "Talent"....
When we see a person playing an instrument in the best of its manner, first thing that comes out is "He/She is soo talented". And that person would conclude his/her sentence by saying. "I am Talented, but it took me a few years to achieve this talent".
Where as there are some, that use another term of Talent. That is "Inborn Talent". Two different things they are.
According to the defination you mentioned, "Inborn Talent" is suppose to be real meaning behind the word "Talent".
But now a days, when we see someone sketching, knowing that he/she never took any classes for it. We say "He/She is gifted or Blessed". Not exactly using the word Talented.
So words have been used in a wrong way these days I believe.
But Talent according to me, can be achieved by working hard.
I believe any humanbeing is capabale of doing anything on this planet. All they have to do is put some intrest in it. Everything is achievable. Its the intrest that matters the most.
You can be not intrested in Guitar, but you can learn it, if forced. But if you are intrested, you'll learn more quickly and could end up being the best.
But yes, having skills and having a talent are two different things. Yup. Thats where we go wrong. We see a person being very good in something, and we say "He is soo talented", may be its because we are more used to that term now.
You can learn anything, and I mean anything there is. It all depends when exactly you are starting to learn something. Learning something at an early age can do wonders for you. There is a way of doing something/anything. Anybody can learn to sing, its not something that could only be gifted and can be blessed. Thats why we start learning how to read and write at an early age. Because thats the most important learning stage of our lives, not saying we cannot learn anything after a certain age. But like you said, Singing can only be gifted and cannot be learned, which I think is wrong.
I'll say again, anybody on this planet is capable of learning/doing anything they want. Its just the intrest that helps us more.
