I didn't find my superstar talent and I am still looking. I am wondering if that is true, do we all have that talent? I guess I will keep on trying things until I see it.

This is an interesting question! I am yet to find my superstar talent but I will definitely be on the lookout in the future. I guess I will jut have to try numerous things until I find the one that I am really good at. Definitely food for thought.

Yes, actually I have found my superstar talent since I was a kid. It is singing. But….. there will always have a big rock called anxiety, because I would be very nervous when all eyes from strangers will focused on me. So I never continue my talent and hobby.

I am still trying to figure out what my favorite talent is, never mind super talent. I am focusing on my writing skills as I believe it's the 'it' for me but only time will tell I suppose.

I'd deem my artistic skills as my "superstar talent", although I also feel this can be anything, from a rare human quality to something tangible like talents.

Yes, I believe I have. That is drawing portraits. I could even forget food exists while drawing.

Everyone has unique talents and strengths. However, it can take time to discover them. It's normal to try different things and explore various interests before finding what truly resonates with you. As for me, I can't say I have found my superstar talent yet.

Olga Markova wrote: 20 Feb 2023, 13:05 One of the takeaways of Chapter 2, which tells the story of Mark and his friends having become the second "Beatles", is that "everyone has at least one superstar talent within them, but you won't discover it if you don't try." I am reasonably successful in my profession but I think my superstar talent is caring for dogs. Because this is what actually makes me tick - once I spot a stray dog in the street, everything else becomes secondary... Have you discovered your superstar talent yet?
I don't know if I have a superstar talent, but I know I want mine to be "being a mom" because I love it so much. Ever since I was little I wanted to grow up to be just like my mom, and now I finally have the chance to have babies and raise my kids. Most of the time, I love it! And I even get to stay at home with them!

That is very interesting, Olivia - I can appreciate the passion even though when I was a child, all my dolls were collecting dust and I was playing only with animal toys and I still remember all their names. Of all animal toys, my biggest collection was dogs. And my dad and I kept conspiring to get various animals and risking tantrums and eviction from my mum once she overheard :). And once I got to live on my own, I am rejoicing in my animal kingdom - my nine rescue dogs (and that is not the limit!), a rescue cat, a dozen pet-only chickens, and a few dozen dogs to visit at the shelter where I help! Bliss all in all! :)

I think I have a couple; writing and loom-knitting. I love to "think outside the box" and I think it really shows in these two areas.

I haven't found mine yet I don't think, but I am only 21 so that's not an issue for me. I think I have a lot of time to figure it out! :)

I still haven't discovered my superstar talent and have been afraid that i might not actually have any for a very long time. Hopefully, I get to know what it is.

Honestly, I am still on the path of self-discovery. I haven't realized my superstar yet. But most of the time I wonder, I do find a lot of satisfaction in showing people new things. In such occasions I find myself immersed in the desmostration in an animated, trance-like state, and I also do go on and on until I
have to remind myself that maybe I should stop. Can that be my superstar?

I could listen to the hopes and desires of those who worked with and for me and, consequently, recognize the greatness behind those desires, even though they might not see it in themselves. I challenged them to go beyond their comfort zones, and today, many are highly successful. I became, to them, the guy who gave them a chance. Knowing that I had, even if just a little something to do with giving them the right nudge at the right time, has been, and will continue to be, highly satisfying.
This is amazing, I am sure all those people appreciated that. I aspire to be this person to some, I think in the leadership world, so many people shut others down due to their own ego. It's quite refreshing to see the ones that encourage and help, even support others to grow. I believe my gift is along the same lines; seeing the good in others.

I would say my superstar talent is helping children who are in need educationally. I also feel comfortable with administrative tasks. I thrive in these two fields.
