Set of faculties, both artistic and intellectual
Talent is known as the set of faculties, both artistic and intellectual, which has a person and that then thanks to the arrangement of them is able to stand out at some level of these fields.
The concept has an absolute connotation and positive feedback on our language precisely because the presence of talent in some sense in someone will make that person stand out in some activity or task. Many even consider it an essential question for success or not. Without talent something can go well but it will surely require a greater effort and a learning.
Talent paves the way to success and victory
Talent, in some sense, is also considered more than anything as a really great potential that at a certain moment it will be able to develop a person, because he has a series of characteristics and aptitudes, which he may or may not develop, but the truth is that he has all of them ways and in any situation he can make use of them, and most likely they will pave the way to success and victory.
For example, Marcos has a special talent for soccer, in the position of striker scorer, so if Marcos decides to play soccer at some point he will surely be the team's top scorer and will make his group win the matches with his goals.
Talent is a product of emotional intelligence and then it's the fitness that allows someone not only to stand out from the rest but also to successfully secure a certain issue, because they have the necessary tools to stand out in it.
Inherited talent and acquired talent
But also talent can be inherited from the family or acquired through learning, that is, the disciple of a painter from seeing so much his teacher who has an extreme talent to the hour of painting, he ends up absorbing all that and he himself develops the same talent for paint. And the other case is of someone who for a reason genetics he receives the ability to paint, his mother is an excellent painter and he genetically received the information that makes him talented when it comes to painting, drawing.
The main difference between these two types of talent, the acquired and the inherited, is that in the case of the second, if it ever to be practiced or exercised for a long time, despite this, the day you decide to resume it or exercise it again, it will be done with the same skill of yesteryear, meanwhile, in the case of the learned one, it needs to be practiced repeatedly so as not to get lost.
Very intelligent person or excels in a certain science or activity
Also, the person who per se is very intelligent or excels in a certain science or activity is often called talent. For example, “Astor Piazzolla was a bandoneon talent”.
Successful TV shows look for talents
At present, the concept of talent in this last indicated sense has taken on a leading role tremendous as a consequence of the many television shows that are precisely looking for talents in the plane musical. Realitys such as La Voz, Operación Triunfo, X Factor, Britain’s got talent, among others, have dominated the scene in recent years around the world, the birth of the Format in a country where it became so popular that it was later sold to another country.
Meanwhile, the essence, the attraction of these programs is that they discover the hidden talent of singing, of musical interpretation, of unknown people who present themselves to a casting and then show all their talents in the middle of the TV show and under the watchful eye of a jury usually made up of renowned artists with a career in the matter.
Even many artists who today enjoy world fame have managed to achieve it thanks to demonstrating their hidden talent for the first time before the cameras, such is the case of the Spanish David Bisbal, in Operación Triunfo, or Susan Boyle who moved with her voice and life story so far from the media, in Britain's got talent.
Imaginary currency used by Greeks and Romans in their business transactions
And the other of the uses of the term talent, which by these times has become obsolete in the current use of the term but not in the history of humanity where a trace of this use has remained, is the one that was given to it in the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, where the talent was an imaginary coin that was used mainly by the Greeks and Romans to carry out their exchanges commercial.
