37 Quotes About Gifts And Talents To Help You Shine Bright

When we say someone is gifted, it means that they have extraordinary talents and abilities in a field or activity.

Talent is what sets an individual apart from the rest. The person can be a gifted dancer, artist, dramatist, writer, scholar, musician, cook, and the list goes on.

Gifted individuals are known to be high-achievers and hard-working. However, being gifted is not limited to one's performance in school tests; being gifted has a wider connotation that extends to other areas that do not use conventional timed tests as a yardstick to measure one's giftedness. For instance, in fields like sports and social relations, a person's talent is measured by their dexterity and natural ability for an activity or task, plus their ability to train and do well. On the other hand, the literal meaning of gift is a present or offering given to someone without the expectation of anything in return.
