Talents are very important to a human being and that is why thy should be nurtured.
People are not looking at talents as a minor thing anymore, now this is what gets most people their jobs. Very many people are earning more money using their talents than their education level. Think of footballers, these are people who have honoured their talent and decided to invest in it by all means. They are very serious with their talent and out of this seriousness, they earn crazy money.
Take an athlete somewhere in rift valley for example. He or she will wake up daily just to run and keep fit. They are always prepared for a race.
Another example is singers. They did not just wake up one day and discovered they could sing. It takes hard work to reach the level of great artists like the late Micheal Jackson and the late Whitney Houston. They worked hard to get to where they are simply because they perfected what God gave them.
Talent is all we need. Education will only help you get shed light on how you will spend your money. As for me and my house, talent first education next.
