“There’s a common misconception that a person’s skill is their talent. Skills, however, are not talents. Talents, on the other hand, requires skills.”

— The 8th Habit p.76

“Don’t confuse transferable skills with traits.”

大部分人也分不清技能與天份.

天份需要技能的支撐. 但是技能本身不是天份.

.

例如:

如果你的運算能力技巧很差的話,

你很難說服人你有數學天份.

.

但是即使你的運算能力高,

亦不代表你有數學天份, 有數學傾向.

因為除了運算能力外,

數學天份還需要其他技能和性格特質的支持, 才能發揮.
