Everyone is given a talent, but it is our choice to use that talent or to disregard it. Mark Twain has inspired me to use my talents to my advantage by his quote, "A person who will not read has no advantage over one who cannot read." If you are blessed with a gift and choose not to use this gift then you have no more leverage over a person who does not obtain this gift. Even though you are able to accomplish a task, if your skill is abandoned through life then you have no favored position over anyone else. You can never know the limitations of your strengths until you use them to your extent. I believe you should use your talents to better yourself. Some people never realize their true potential because they choose to limit themselves by not trying. Use your ability to your advantage and others' as well. Otherwise, you would be the same without possessing your capability in the first place. In other words, if you do not use your talent, then you are as equal to a person who is unable to acquire the same talent as you. Have the advantage, and use your skill! You are given a talent for a reason!
