RP this is an OLD Post, but one that just keeps giving - join in brothers and sisters!

I've got my list of (10) Things in the picture above.

What can you add to this list to describe things that take zero talent when it comes to you waking up in the morning and you decide to take on the world, the job market, your own business, and your own individual goals?

Self what can I do that doesn't take training or talent?

Telling the truth.
Being informed.
Acknowledging others.
Taking responsibility.
Being courteous.

I'd amend "telling the truth" to "telling the whole truth." A lot of times what goes unsaid is just as important as what is what comes out of a person's mouth.

Noooooooo.... All those things you've listed take mega-talent... and discipline. Things that don't require talent are bodily functions, making babies, walking (not to include walking without tripping), sleeping, voting (although voting sensibly requires talent or if hanging chads are involved). Nothing on my list requires talent or discipline.

CPT Jack Durish it was inevitable that we would disagree on something - LOL! Naybe for some today you are right about my list, but for those that wake up in the military every morning with an "Edge" I don't think so. Most of it comes natural! Just my two cents brother Jack!

Tell the truth. It may take courage, but requires less talent than lying effectively.

Lt Col Jim Coe Excellent point and somehow, someway the truth will always bite you in the butt down the road, if you lied to begin with! For most of this takes zero talent, for some they need a lot of training!
