What is talent?

Talent is any recurring pattern of
thought, feeling or behavior
that can be productively applied.


Talent


42 days
after
you are
conceived,...


...your brain experiences a 4-month growth spurt.


Your brain creates hundred billion of neurons.


at 7 months inside the womb...


...Each neuron starts trying to
communicate with one other


Whenever a
successful
connection is
made, a synapse
is formed.


By the age of three each
of your hundred billion
neurons has formed
15,000 synaptic
connections with other
neurons.


Your pattern of
threads, extensive,
intricate, and unique,
is woven.


Between the ages of three and ﬁfteen you lost billions of
these carefully forged synatic connections.


By the time you wake up on
your 16th birthday...


Half your
network
is gone


Your talents are your strongest
