The Talent Code is written by Daniel Coyle, in this book Daniel Coyle tried to make it so the readers would remember what they were reading. He did this by repeating himself a lot throughout the book so you were always reading the same thing without realizing it. Another way he made this happen was he used real life examples with people that we would recognize the name so you could connect the information. Another thing that helped was when he was getting information from different places it was all similar to each other. I think Daniel Coyle did a good job making it so the readers would remember what they read. "Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it" (Laurence J. Peter). This quote relates to the talent code in many ways. One reason I think this quote relates to the book is because at the beginning of the book you 're informed …show more content…
Another thing that made the book easier to remember was that he didn 't just study the same subject the whole time. He chose different people to watch and get information from so you knew that the information would be reliable if it didn 't all just come from one subject. An example of this from the book would be when he chose to study more than just one tennis player. It was smart of him to choose a group with twenty really good tennis players so he could watch them practice and see how long each day they would practice. Daniel Coyle choosing different people to study was helpful to the readers because if he got the same information from each player than the readers know that the information he received must be correct. He didn’t only study tennis players, he also studied pianists and people who play chess. What he was trying to find out was what each person did while they were practicing and how long they had to practice each day to become as good as they were. “Talent hotbeds are to primal cues what Las Vegas is to neon signs, flashing with the kind of signals that keep motivation
Talent and opportunity and many times use interchangeably although they both have very different meaning. To me, talent is the innate ability to do something or learn something which a small percentile of people possess. Opportunity is a set of options which a person chooses to shape their paths. Both are similar in the way that neither can be controlled by humans (for the most part). Some people are more successful because they have more talent for a particular area of interest, but most are successful because of the opportunities they received along the way.

Many people believe that fate is determined by natural ability, while others believe that one's destiny is determined by themselves. So, innate talent or preparation? Authors David Epstein and Malcolm Gladwell have opposing views on this topic. David Epstein, the author of The Sports Gene, says that natural ability is linked to success, rather than preparation and training. However, Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers: The Story of Success, concludes that achievement is the result of preparation and not just innate talent.
By not including any in his examples and not even mentioning them, intentional or not, it makes the reader feel like only white collar men can be physical geniuses. However, the truth is that anyone who is the best at what they do can be a physical genius through visualization and development of mental abilities that others just don’t develop. The best cook, soldier, teacher, or janitor in the world is a physical genius. Being a physical genius is being the very best at whatever you are passionate about. Whether the ability to be a physical genius is innate or something you can develop over time, I'm not sure.
One of the most important factors to consider while reading this book
Though Gladwell made a few good points, the only true formula for success includes a combination of both innate ability and practice. You must be naturally gifted at something and willing to put in the time and effort to genuinely be a master of it. Without innate talent, someone will never be able to be successful at something. So, do you think talent is involved in the making of a

Whenever I think about what I have learned since the beginning of this course—English 101, It always gives me a great pleasure to tell myself and people around me that I have learned something great; something that can make me a better writer. However, I have learned some writing skills based on the course’s teaching learning objectives that can help me in my future courses. Also, I’m glad, because my strength in writing essays have increased. Most especially, writing narrative essay in MLA formatting. I might not be an excellent writer, but I know I have not stopped learning, and I know I will get pay-off in the long run if I can keep the ongoing pace of my learning—guaranteed.
Personal Literacy Narrative Reading and writing is a tool everybody needs in their lifetime the basic reading and writing skills are used on a daily base no matter what field you plan to study.

The study proved to us that we no longer thoroughly read material, rather we just skim over most of what we read. From the convoluted works of the late 19th century, to the material of present day, the way we write and comprehend
