Being gifted is different from being talented. By your definition everyone is gifted. If everyone is gifted, then no one is gifted.

Distinguished Harvard professor Howard Gardner has show this theory called Multiple Intelligence. There are Musicians, Scientist, Naturalist, Social Geniuses who have soared and shown their brillance over and over. Gifted children in USA, are Visual-Word students who excel in test-taking. Great for them but , let’s not judge the rest of the students by one measurement. Can they play Mozart by heart? Paint a sunset or capture a photo of a dying species? Let’s come into the 21st century and notice each persons gifts…child, youth, adult or aging adult.
