Question

Differentiate between skill and talent
​

Answer 1

• skill, which is a learnt ability, and it can be developed in someone if he/she put his time and efforts in it. The efforts need to be voluntary, systematic and sustained, to acquire a skill and satisfactorily undertake various tasks and activities.

• talent is an inborn ability or natural aptitude of a person which is often hidden and needs recognition. It means, being good in a certain activity, without actually learning or acquiring it.

Answer 2

'Talent' is something that one is born with; it is your natural ability to do something without really thinking about it. ... 'Skill', on the other hand, is something that you acquire after putting in a lot of hard work; unlike talent, it is not inborn, but learnt.
