Define for me: Talent vs. Skill
Again by request, another compare/contrast. It is something that seems a bit unclear for the most part, so your thoughts would be appreciated.
So define for me if you will: Talent vs. Skill

Talent: That which allows one to look good while doing something within the scope of said talent. It is potential, found within.
Skill: That which allows one to actually be good while doing something within the scope of said skill. It is the realization of potential, actuation, and must be sought from without.
Generally, I hold my skills, which I have worked long and hard at acquiring, in higher regard than my talents. Skills are a journey, as the path taken to find and cultivate them becomes the journal of one's life. Having a talent isn't enough, it takes a passion for something to make it meaningful. It is this passion that drives one to gain the skill necessary to be better. Talent is most useful when it aligns with passion, and is, I believe, one of the things that makes for greatness in a person.
