His design combines the amazing effects of OLED-Display technology and multi touch screen the utility of a laptop computer with added flexibility. OLED means Organic Light Emitting Diode.

The Difference Between Talent and Skill

 Talent and skill have often been used interchangeably. They often say that talent is the same as skill. The truth is they are not. Talent and skill are totally different. They are worlds away. When a person asks another person “What is your talent?", then you say "I play the guitar well", he has just responded inappropriately. Here is why.

Guitar playing is not a talent, it is a skill. Singing is not a skill, it's a talent. So, what is the difference between the two, anyway? It's simple. Talent is something that is already in you. Just like instincts, it is innate in a person that has it. It is like you already have the raw ingredients for something revolutionary or very great. The person who has it just has to find a way to utilize those raw materials well. 

As great as it may sound, not everyone has it. It is unique. Opposite to talent is skill. Skill is something that you can acquire through the use of external help. It is not innate in a person. It is learned and can be practiced to perfection. And unlike talent, skill can be in every person.

Knowing the difference between the two, it is now easy to rationalize the first statement of the second paragraph. Guitar playing is not a talent, it is a skill. In contrast, singing is not a skill, it is a talent. Why? As mentioned earlier, talent is a unique thing that is already innate in a person. He or she is born with it. Playing the guitar does not require special characteristics for a person to learn it. 

Hand dexterity is the minimum requirement which is not something you acquire at birth. It can be trained. With proper practice, a person could just manipulate his hand with dexterity enough to play the guitar satisfactorily. The point here is that guitar can be learned. This thought marries well with the definition of skill which is something that is acquired through training. Singing is talent in a sense that it is something you are born with. Singing requires proper configuration of the organs that are involved in singing. T

his talks about the anatomy of a person which is a something a person is born with. This thought is in accordance to the definition of talent. Therefore, singing is a talent. There are times at which these two are present in a person at the same time. This is when we call a person truly ‘gifted’. This happens very rarely and person who is blessed with this gift will surely go far in the field he or she invested his or her energy on.

With these thought in mind, it is now easy for an individual to distinguish which is talent and which is skill. There would be no more interchanging use of these words.

Things you should consider before having an Online Prescription


When you feel something wrong in your body, you go to your doctor. You ride your car, travel short or long distances, and wait in traffic, just to get to your trusted clinic and have them give you a small piece of paper they call prescription. What an effort you have to give for you to get the needed key to get the drug that can alleviate your health problems. It is very stressful which is a precipitating factor to whatever it is you are feeling. So, what is the solution to this problem? Online prescription is the answer.

The invention of the internet has unlocked a lot of possibilities that made human life a lot manageable. Among the possibilities it unlocked, perhaps one of the most helpful is by having medicaments be available online. This would mean that you won’t have to travel and wait in traffic to get that small piece of paper. By having pharmacies online, availing of drugs has become easier and cheaper. Another plus factor is that it is supported by the law.

It sounds too good to be true, isn’t it? That is because it is true.  Buying drugs via the internet has been widely used today. Online drug stores are in demand. However, these great opportunities have some downsides.
Ideally, you get a written order for a medication from a licensed medical practitioner. You get it after these specialists got some critical data from you regarding your sickness.

 They obtain these data using the four main means of assessing namely inspection, auscultation, palpation, and percussion. When they got the data and analyzed them well, they give you an authoritative recommendation for a certain drug. In that way, you will get yourself healed and not getting killed.

The problem in getting these recommendations via the internet is that the means they are using before giving you the said recommendations are only through questionnaires. That means data collected is insufficient. How will they know that you are having a slow or fast respiration rate? It is a critical subjective data that must be obtained before taking in some medicine that might affect your respiration rate. When overlooked, this could lead to serious conditions and quite possibly lead to death.

Another problem is the legitimacy of these online drug dispensaries. Not all of them are legal. In fact, only a portion of the entire population of these online drug stores is legitimate. You really have to be careful in choosing companies to buy from. Choose the ones that have been legalized and approved by the government. Otherwise, you might end up taking in pills made from the kitchen.  

Adding to the problem is the fact that even kids can get their hands on drugs requiring legal documents. They just have to fill up some questionnaires and enter their credit card number and they have their drug.

Therefore, before taking your online prescription, make sure that you have weighed the pros and cons properly. Don’t make moves that might kill you in the end. Before anything else, take a sit, relax, and think about it properly.
