Good day my beloved people of Hive. Happy new week, am happy to meet you safe and sound here again. Welcome to my entry on Hive Learner's week 27, Edition 1 contest. I hope you find this interesting.
It is true that everyone has something that he/she is good at naturally, sometimes it comes from a few lectures, observations, thoughts, and little training and in some cases, it is discovered by casual attempts. It just flows naturally. That very thing might be very tough for another person but you just discovered that the first time you tried it, it was as cheap as A,B, C for you. I have friend back then in secondary School that was a science student yet very good at drawing, I don't mean all those biological diagrams I mean real art sketching. That guy can sketch almost whatever he sees and he finds great joy doing it. This is not something we were taught as science students, we don't offer fine arts as a subject but this guy sketches more than all the art students in school. And I marvel at such a thing, I love to sketch but I am very poor at it, I had to give up..
I discovered that it was practice that made him discovered that gift, since evidently no one taught him. There was a day I pressed hard on him with questions, because I was so eager and one thing with me is that I believe that if a man like me can do something, it means I can do it too. Except he is using magic or something beyond this realm otherwise I won't sleep until I get at it. I pressed hard with questions like how are you doing this thing that I can't do it? And he said practice and determination but you know what? I gave up after some failed attempts. Sketching no be my calling abeg 馃ぃ馃ぃ.
My Experience
Ofcourse there are many things we are good at without necessarily been taught, and for me that happens to be writing. In my life I never knew that I would for once write any article. Even though I love reading, I spend much time on books than I spend with with people, though I don't keep to that rule like before. I use to write one or two things down that I learnt from books. I never for once thought of sitting down to write things on my own, out of thoughts, imaginations and experiences.
Anytime I hear of articles, I use to be scared and think of one big thing, that only well talented and educated people grounded in English language could do. Until around 2019, when I discovered that each time I read a book and I decide to meditate on it. I begin to see streams of information flowing into my mind that I can not explain, I would read just two lines in a book and then find explainations from my head that can reach almost a page from it. So I decided to start writing, each time I study I write whatever comes to my head. And I could spend hours and hours just writing without looking into anything book. Meanwhile I don't read any book that can not build my life up, I only read rich materials.most times spiritual and motivational and academic books.
From there it grew, I could just sit and begin to imagine things in my mind and pen it down, I can create things in my heart and give it life with my pen and exercise book and as I keep writing it keeps flowing until I decide to stop. It became so easy for me, I can pick any topic and write on it without consulting any book . It doesn't take me long to write something down, all I need to do is get a quiet place and focus that is all. Writing seem to be as normal and easy and eating for me. I was never taught anything about writing, I don't even know the principles or strategies but it just flows right from the first day I started. I didn't even know that some of the things I use to write is called the article I have been scared of for long until I joined Hive馃ぃ馃ぃ. And I was like ah! ah! So this is the article? My God!
How writing helped me
Above all the benefits I got from writing, the most important and valuable one for me is happiness and satisfaction. Anytime I write I feel happy and satisfied, I feel like it is now that I am doing what I was really born for. There is this special feeling of satisfaction that I can't explain. That alone is a great help to me, even if there is no monetary benefit attached. The happiness and the joy I derive from it is something huge.
When I got to know Hive my writing began to pay me, and honestly I have gained a lot from it, when I say pay I am not talking about money alone, I am talking about reward, I met friends through writing, I have met mentors through writing, I have been inspired through writing, and also earned money . Without writing I would have achieved all this.
And I want to say a very big thank you to Hive and Hive Learners community and also to my big friends 
In conclusion
Every human being is unique. one might be good at sketching like my friend and be poor at writing, another good at writing but poor in speaking, all this things are distributed to men by God according to their abilities and purposes in life. I strongly believe that if Everyman in the world has every gift and every talent there would be a very serious problem in the world. Division and pride would cause the sun not to even shine forth it light on the earth again. But thanks to God, just incase you feel like you are useless because you can not do what another person is doing, I want you to know that, you are killing yourself, check right inside you, there is something special deposited inside, all you need to do is discover it and refine it. Give it life , you can't be another person, and another person can't be you.
we need each other's talents and gift to join with ours to be complete. This is why I regard people that are envious and proud as fools. No matter what you think you have, you can never be complete, you must have others to be perfect.
Thank you so much for your time, I just hope you enjoyed reading through. Don't forget to engage the comment section, I would love to hear your views.
