People think that some are born gifted, which means they are good at a lot of things, not just one. For example, there are people who excel in painting, playing musical instruments, carpentry, making sculptures, and all forms of art, not just one. Some say they should be born with it, but other people believe that it's a personal effort and that children at a young age should focus on multiple fields to be good at all of them, not just one. They also believe that this is the responsibility of parents to nurture their children's talents. So I think that it depends on the person himself.

Consider exploring the roles of genetics, environment, and personal dedication in shaping individual abilities more comprehensively. A more nuanced discussion of the interplay between innate talent and acquired skills would strengthen the response.

A few minor grammatical refinements would improve accuracy and precision. For example, the phrase 'take care of their children's talents' could be improved to 'nurture their children's talents'.
