I heard quite many times that people say “I wish I had that genius talent on the field like others..”. It seems people regard talent and ability as ways to success. However, I would say that we need something more for success: good choice making. I firmly agree that the choices we make, rather than our abilities and talents, show who we are, because, for many cases, abilities and talents are made even by choice, and choice is able to determine our life regardless of our ability and talent.
First, a lot of abilities and talents are created by choice. As a high school student in Korea, I saw a lot of smart students who are extremely good at some field such as science, art, and sports. I ask myself whenever I see them, “What is difference between them and me? Why they are so good at that field?”. Finally, I concluded that it is because they or their parents made a choice early. I mean they decided in what field they will success and put a lot of investments such as money, time and effort to develop. For a specific example, in Gangnamgu, Korea, there are a lot of academies. Like other parents, my friend’s parents want their daughter to be a genius at science. Thus, they forced her to go to science academy since she was 5 years old to make her interested in science. Now, she became a genius about science in Korea, because she knows so many things about science that she has heard from the academy from her young age. Korean people admit themselves that though they do not have inborn talents and abilities, if they have enough money to go to the academy, they can be genius. In other words, they can have abilities and talents by their choice.
Moreover, choice can determine our life regardless of our ability and talents. There are a lot of people who have talents, but few of them success. For instance, there were two Korean artists who have the same infinite potential in themselves. One decided to go to study abroad to the Paris and the other decided to just stay in Korea, because his parents are fighting to cancer and he had to take care of them. Life of the 2 artists who had the same potentials became noticeably different after 10 years. One who went to study abroad became one of top artists in the world, and one who decided to leave in Korea became just average art teacher in the high school. This example shows that making a right decision is very important and that choice can affect rest of our lives regardless of talents and abilities.
In conclusion, I agree with the statement that choice shows who we are rather than ability based on my personal experience. There is no doubt that making a choice is really significant in our life and we need careful choice making.
