Skills are inherited or trained?

"You are.....just like your parent'' Has anyone said such words to you?? I am sure you have heard such statement.. So have I.. Although sometimes it may not be true, but what can you do instead of just smile to that person. Skills are inherited or trained? I've always question about it. So, why not if we discuss about it.

There are various types of skills in life such as communication skills, academic skills, motor skills, and many more. Not everyone can managed these skills greatfully. Different people own different skills. What made them different?

The answer for it depends on that particular person. For me, environmental factors like place grown up, plays an important role to develop certain skills. For example, children will try to follow whatever they see and usually they copy their parents behaviour. In some cases, if the parents have talent in singing their children also inherit this talent. The best example I can give is Dato Siti Nurhaliza. She inherit her singing skill from her mother. On the other hand, what happen to a child who was born without his parent. Can his parent's skills be inherited to him?

So, skills are also trained. If someone do something they are told to do repeatedly, the skill will eventually developed. For example, crafts making skill. At first, we have to learn how to make it from a person who is really good with the skill. Then, when we keep on practising making craft, our skill of craft making will be better and better. This show skills are trained. Furthermore, parents always want the best for their children. For some parents who are rich, they will send their children for any classes just to learn certain skills like being able to play music instruments. This also show skills can be develop through learning.

In conclusion, skills can be inherited and trained depending on the life style of an individual. For me, many of my skills are not inherited from my parents. For example, my mother is very good in communication skill but not her daughter. I'm not very good with that skill. Sometimes, I feel dissapointed with it Maybe I should do something to train myself in communication skill. So, that my mother can proudly say I am her daughter. Hehehe....
