Strength Explanation: A gift is an ability that you possess innately (which may then be nurtured and strengthened through a conscious decision and/or training to strengthen it). A strength is an ability or characteristic you have that you or those around you are conscious of, which you deploy for your own or other people's benefit. I think in the past, when people were more generally religious, people would often attribute the innate ability to a higher being (the phrase "God-given gift" was fairly common) - but today, in modern Britain at least, that is no longer the case. The debate is all about nature v. nurture, and whether through sheer practice a person can achieve as much as a person who is naturally gifted. |
