Let's Talk: Nature vs Nurture

On his facebook page Van Hansis began talking about Nature vs Nurture but with a twist. Heres what the thespian had to say "ive been thinking this evening about nature vs. nurture. not in thesexuality content (i think it's really stupid to try to find a reason WHY people are who they are. just accept who they are. it isn't hard)" Nope the GG superstar isn;t wondering why people are gay but why they are talented "but what about talent? is talent a learned trait or an intrinsic one? when you look at singer's like whitney houston or christina agilaralala (SIC), are their voices a talent or a gift?" Hmm that is a very good question indeed, Van says he believes it can be both " i lean towards a gift. but what about van gogh, what about streep? i think the difference between a talent and a gift, is that not anyone can be given a gift, but anyone can find a talent. a gift is a thing given, talent is something that must be found inside." I tend to agree with him, I think it is both a gift and a learned trait. Even if God blesses you with a talent for something, you still have to work hard at it and practice it every day. I write every day, at least a combined 5,000 words, between my fiction and writing for GG, and everyday I learn something new.
