The power of talent

Most of us seem to be less talented than other people. They got all
the grades in school, graduated on high grades from university in
recognised subjects. Then went on to work for an internationally reputable
company on a prestigious job, earning high income. Within those talented came
others who were just natural born businessmen, footballers, marketers, communicators
and etc,etc. We, as the average, battle to make it to management positions.
We passed our grades on average. We went to an average college. Got average marks.
Went to work on an average job. Our jobs were the first to be on the line when the company decided to lay off its staff. Why? Because we were average.
In hindsight, we could read, laugh, eat, come to work early and many other things, which the talented could do. Yet they are always ahead of us. Gain more recognition than us. Yet, some speakers on motivation, excellence and other performance determinant factors come with their garbage, telling us we could perform as best as the best. But when you ask those who have recognised talent in the field, they would tell you the same thing but you know about those factors. You have known it for many a time, yet nothing seem to satisfy you. They would further tell you how you are not
following the instructions to implement these factors into your working advantage. I personally think it's a ludicrous claim to tell someone they are not following the instructions. I don't think anyone would pick up a book on practising their desired craft better than most in the field and never want to follow the instructions on how to. It is clear that we could say, confidently, that others are just born with it.
The claim that we can be better as much as the best is a superficial claim. A claim by those who want to sell their books, lecture and so forth. Anyone in their insightfully right mind would not agree with these claims.
The best of those we have in different fields are natural born. The best marketers, footballers, sales executives,businessmen, leaders and many others' are natural born. The rest of us are just average and we have to accept it.
The disguising reason that the talented practice or study like the rest of us is to keep the existing, inborn talent intact. They are not developing it like the rest of us. Another added advantage is their unique gift of identifying what they're good at at an early stage of their lives. We could never be like the talented, however hard we could try. We can gain knowledge about these factors but we could never have the lasting power of applying them into perfection. The only hope is to cherish our average nature. That's the fortunate or unfortunate power of talent or lack of it.
