Talent by Nature or Nurture

I asked a friend who is master of humor how he does it – adding a magic touch at the right time and place. It seems so natural and easy as he talks…

He said ‘since a child, he has been interested in humor, he watched Comedy Central every Saturday observing how comedians do; he also writes down and has a collection of pocket jokes. He prepares a lot for his speech, watches people’s reaction, and adjust.’

WoW, I thought he has a talent of humor before talking with him. Perhaps he does yet what makes him stands out (more see ‘Stand Out’ post) is likely more kudo to preparation and continuous learning. That’s good news for all of us. Whether having innate capability, through cultivation and determination, we can learn and turn it into talent or more importantly, passion in life!
