It Doesn't Take Talent to Find Your Talent | Jared Osborne | TEDxHowellHighSchool

Good for him, he found his talent in such a young age. I am at least 2 decades older than him and still do not know. It is not like I am lost or useless, I graduated at university, have great family, built my house myself, can fix my car myself, I have quite a good job, I can play multiple musical instruments, etc. I understand many people around would be grateful for that and so am I, but I did not find any activity where I would be exceptional and/or would bring me real joy, put me into flow. Anything I can do is on "B grade" - I can do it, quite well, but it is not anything special and there is very little of joy in doing it for me then. Only truly joyful moment is when it happens and something is completely done - although I know it could have turned out better, it is at least complete/functional/handed over. Is there a possibility I do not have any strong talent? I know, for sure, there are exceptional people who has multiple "A+++ grade" talents in comparison so I am thinking I might be the exception from the opposite part of Gauss curve.

This was amazing! I've been writing lyrics for 23 years n counting because that's my passion n gift from what I've been told. I discovered it in high school but didn't take seriously until a year or two after school. Someone once asked me if we didn't need money to survive how would I make a living. I told him lyric writing n he asked me why and I replied: that's the one skill that make me feel like a kid n arises my curiosity more than any other career whether I make a living at it or not it's just different for me. I can express anything I go through in life through lyrics
