After reading Uncohead’s article, I agree with him that ‘different talents also determine to a large extent the speed of receiving new knowledge. ‘ People have different talents for learning different things, and there are gaps in each person’s talent. This example is also very common in our lives. For example, some international students whose first language is not English can speak English to a high standard in a short time, while others may need years and years of speaking practice to do so. It may be that working harder can yield better results, but there is no denying that talent can often determine how much time people need to spend learning new things.
