How to Discover Your Talent
Talent tends to refer to that inborn skill that everyone seems to be born with.
Revisit your childhood. A good way to figure out where your talents lie is to go back to your childhood.
Consider what it is you do when you lose track of time. One of the chief things you can do is focus on what you love to do so much that you have a tendency to forget everything else for a while.
Try new things. Especially if you’re not sure what your talents might be, you should get out and try new things. This way you’re more likely to hit on what it is that you’re really good at and that really makes you happy.

| C．You can use your talents in the service of kindness |
| D．Focus on the areas that you’re less talented in |
| E．Not all talents are going to be super obvious |
| F．Observe and enjoy the talents of other people |
| G．It’s true that having a talent can help you in life |
