TALENT: A bridge to one’s completeness
By: Mary Joy Tabungar
Way back several years ago, a girl who yearns for love, care and
attention, seeks and lives a girl who yearns for love, life for how she sees
it. Innocence is seen and deserved through how this girl lives her life.
Despite the good deeds and openness , her life took a turn. Despite her
smiles she felt abandoned, alone. With emptiness in her heart, she found
a place . A place, a thing that made her exist, made her stand out; art.
They say talent is different from skills, yet is talent just suddenly
going out through someone’s nature? Is talent earned? Is talent bound to
someone naturally? Throughout this article you are going to come into
thought of how do a person really has talent? Is it really natural? Or is it
developed?
According to the article, “Talent Matters Even More than People
Think” written by Marion Barraud of HBR. About the interview of Romas
Chamorro – Premusiz, a chief innovation officer at Manpower Group, in
TEDx Talk, he stated that “Talent concerns the abilities, skills and
expertise that determine what a person can do.”
I may say or come into thought, that nothing really is easy. I have
observed throughout into thought, that really is easy. Nothing really my
journey as an artist enthusiast rather, that developing these skills in art as
an art painting, in drawing, sketching, how to incorporate the elements
and principle of art in making hay artworks as realistic as possible. Also,
Some of the known artists and influencers like Koolen shared their journey
that they used to be a beginner and haven’t started! Born as a pro.
According to the Human Resources Review, Volume 30, Issue 2, The
Neglected role of talent proactivity: Integrating proactive behavior into
talent- management theorizing, written by Maria Christina Meyers, a
writer in Science Direct, “ I perceive a lack of publications on talent
proactive behavior, defined as self – initiated behavior that aims to
improve or transform one’s circumstances”
Furthermore, I read yesterday in a literature book that one’s style in
art is developed and found throughout time. It is supported by our
childhood / past experiences, in more specific explanation, our past
experiences are affecting what we can do right now, and what we do and
what we can do right now is also affecting who we are, same thought with
the quote “you are what you eat.” In comparison to this, artists across the
world are molded through time. They are developed. Their own names are
developed, are known.
In a deeper context to this, our environment are the ones who affect
who we are. For instance, my classmate who is found art used to tell me
she is used to communicating with her family, that is why when she is at
school, she is a loud, happy-go-lucky and high voice student. This just
proved that people’s character, desire, and preferences vary with their life
experiences and surroundings. In correction to artists, some artists like the
In the first paragraph are the ones who are built through time, hardships
and situations. I have observed that most artists are timid. Some are
expressive yet hidden on an introverted side.
For example on my first day of school I have started deserving my
classmates to adjust with my new environment. There is a girl who is quiet
and timid yet che is interactive. When talked with. I told her and asked
that I can feel that she has a hidden talent, that she is an artist. I was
shocked to confirm my theory that most artists prefer to be quite some
time like her, like me, like my friend and like some of the other artists I
have known in my past school. They also prefer to be themselves with
people they have similarity with. They are more comfortable with people
who they think they can understand because they have their similarities.
Ore evidence of the classmate I have found out myself with, that she is an
artist. Later on, she became friends with me yet remained isolated from
my other classmates.
Artists are also the ones who felt abandoned, left out or alone. For
example me myself, I used to be an outcast when I has elementary yet
when I found art I felt comfort and also due to art I have met people who
admired my skills Afterwards, they get to know me and eventually I found
my people who accepts me and doesn’t make me feel left out outcast.
Another example is my classmate who told me she felt alone and
different.
In conclusion to these observations, a person’s one talent, is once
used to be a skill & A skill that is developed by time, by experiences, by
good and bad memories, that became a pursued thing ; became a thing
that homes the warmth that one’s self yearns for. A molded identity of
someone. A thing that makes your heart at peace, at peace from seeking
attention of someone else, a thing that became a bridge of the love that
they deserve, that is found inside of them.
