Mathematical skills, music or speech is considered as a talent innate or biological in human genes. But it is not entirely true, because talent can be acquired with practice.
David Shenk, an American writer in the field of genetics, asking people to think again if said talent or genius of a person's genes derived entirely from the alias descent.
According to him, a tendency to say that ability is genetic (predisposition) has been greatly exaggerated. This view has led to neglect of its potential in a person.
"There is a profound misunderstanding about a big accomplishment. Genes do not limit us to mediocrity or worse than that, "said David Shenk, as reported from the TimesOnline, Thursday (25/3/2010).
In his new book The Genius in All of Us, which describes the comparison with the work of Canadian pop sociologist Malcolm Gladwell, Shenk illustrates that human DNA is open to continually influenced by external factors.
Nature and its maintenance is constantly interacting, as well as genes that can be enabled or disabled, or expressed to different degrees, depending on its environment.
Field of epigenetics increasingly suggests that environmental experiences during life leaves traces in the genes, which are passed on to the children. Shenk sighted environmental influences may exceed what might be regarded as human limitations.
As an example of musical ability. Many musicians who says he was born without any musical talent or who said she was born to make music. The fact is that no one is born with innate talent. Everyone is born with the potential of musical tones.
This can be seen in the total number of cases (prevalence) is much higher as Chinese-speaking country with a perfect tone. Chinese people communicate daily with perfect pitch, so get better at it.
Have a genetic advantage in certain sports field is also questionable. The success of Kenyan marathon runners for example but not of genes that have been ingrained culture. Many of the children of Kenya ran 8 to 10 miles per day since the age of 7 years.
Even personality traits such as tenacity or perseverance to affect success in every area of life can be trained.
Restrictions on self-perception is one of the biggest obstacles to greater achievement or genius. In one experiment, children were given the option to receive one marshmallow immediately or wait 15 minutes to get two marshmallows.
One third of the children immediately choose one marshmallow (sweets), another third waited a few minutes, but gave up because tempted, while the last third of patiently waiting to receive two marshmallows.
Message obtained from this is that children are naturally more disciplined and destined to do better. Subsequent research showed that children can be taught the benefits of delayed gratification. Shenk said that all parents can learn from this.
"There's a circular logic of talent. When you see someone who is great, such as David Beckham as a footballer, they are so far from what you can afford, then you would assume that you can not get there, "said Shenk.
Shenk recognizes that the title of his book is meant to be provocative, but he says, "I'm not saying that anyone can be anything, but nothing can be great in everything but if they have a fundamental belief about the possibility".
