Maybe you found out that you have the ability to connect with animals when visiting an animal shelter, an experience you have never had in your life? Maybe you could easily get excellent marks on a day trying to play Star Trek game at a certain game store? These experiences are the starting point of talent.

   Try difficult areas. Are you afraid of the stage, afraid of talking in public? Or are you afraid of writing and completing a storybook? Grab the microphone and put the pen on the paper. Do things that make you scared. What is a list of things you would like to accomplish? What do you wish you could do well without difficulty? Meet major challenges and find out what you need to do to be good at it.

He is now recognized as one of the most talented voice actors in the world.

   Pursue your obsessions. What do you often talk about so drunk that the listener gets bored? What was it that took you so hard to get out? Think about the things that fascinate you to discover the possibilities and talents that may be hidden deep within you.

Direct that passion into the study of film history and filmmaking.

   Don't be concerned about television programs. Programs like "Music Idols" or "Asian Talent" have a very limited connotation of talent. If you are not a young and attractive person with a smooth story and a flamboyant voice, such shows will lead the audience to believe that they themselves have no talent.

   Look at your pros and cons to find your potentials. One way to reflect on talent is to think of some supernatural ability to make it seem easy. But another way of thinking is that talent is the ability to overcome obstacles. Not that Blind Willie Johnson is considered a particularly talented guitarist because of his blindness, actor James Earl Jones is more famous for his stuttering childhood, or Michael Jordan becomes the better player for being eliminated from the team?
   • Don't let flaws or difficulties you feel prevent you from experimenting with new things and developing talent.

If you have a very modest height, can you become an excellent player?
