Gifted or Talented

Talented or Gifted

There is a difference between the two

And often, very distinct

Here, I speak in terms of gifted and talented persons                                                                   d

A gift is bestowed or acquired without any particular effort by the recipient

Or without its being earned

A talent is a special ability that allows someone to do something well

Talents can be taught and learned, as most things

There are many talented people in the world

But gifted persons are a rarity

Gifts come from a higher source

Gifts are both, natural and spiritual

Stevie Wonder is a gift                                                  

Another example is Michael Jackson

Chris Brown gave a wonderful tribute to Michael Jackson

He did a marvelous job

Chris is truly talented and knows his craft well

But, Michael Jackson was gifted

And never another one, like him, to come any time soon

A gifted person is extraordinary

The person is the gift

The gift is the person

Gifts cannot be taught by academic institutions

A gift cannot be explained by a scientific theory

Gifts are synonymous with genius, synonymous with miracles
