Find your own talent

"Monster University", I still like it very much, especially some points of the plot setting. Here is just a brief description of the one that impressed me the most.

For example, it discusses whether some innate factors of people can be changed through acquired efforts.

This reminds me of a discussion I had with Hal earlier: what is the most important factor in determining a person's achievement. He thinks it is talent, not everyone with talent has a chance, but without talent, it is useless to have a chance.

I think there is some truth to what he said. In my opinion, talent, hard work, and opportunity are all important to a person's success. Everyone's talent points are different, so it's important to find your own talent points that suit you. He also further added that the ultimate progress of society should be that each person has a unique job according to his unique genes, so that the operation of society should be the smoothest.

The same goes for this movie. The big-eyed monster itself is very cute, not the kind of monster that will scare people. But he aspires to be a scare commissioner, so he keeps working hard, nibbling on books, hoping to one day trade his efforts for success. But in the end, it failed. (Of course the definition of 'failure' here is very limited). Later, his friend Mao Wei woke him up: even if he didn't have a scary talent, he had other bright spots in him. He could succeed by being a scary coach, which was a good way to discover his strengths and talents. .

In addition, the successful transformation of the members of the OK Fraternity later also reflects the problem of exerting one's strengths that I mentioned earlier.
