There is a code, which unlocks human potential setting an individual on a path to excellence. This code is not in the sole possession of a few select individuals but all who know, understand, and apply the code. Anyone can be a talented super nova. Many have portended for years that super nova talent is rare. Such gifts are innate and occur in hotbeds, â€Å"An environment that favors rapid growth or development† (Merriam Webster, n.p.). Coyle seeks to prove that there is more to talent development than environment or allusive genetic gifts. Such talent is predicated on a series of factors, including neural construction and deep practice, not to the exclusions of such factors as environment, support systems, or will. Coyle uses specific†¦show more content†¦This active process sends signals through the brain, signals which flow down axonal pathways. In this process the brain develops myelin which wraps itself around the axons. This increases the signal speed which lends to what we know as automaticity, â€Å"The state or quality of being spontaneous, involuntary, or self-regulating† (Farlax, n.p.) Over time one’s skill becomes a spontaneous act. This skill is what separates mediocrity from genius. Myelin is the trigger point. This is good news. This means that such talent is accessible to all. As Coyle notes, â€Å"We are myelin beings† (p. 72) Targeted practice through committed effort is the stimulus. Both together create what is known as the talent code. We all have the potential for genius. â€Å"To sum it up: it’s time to rewrite the maxim that practice makes perfect. The truth is, practice makes myelin, and myelin makes perfect† (Coyle, 2009, p.43 ) Coyle makes an effective argument. The Talent code, finds a solid basis in Neuroscience. According to the Neuroscience journals, â€Å"Active excitation of the axonal membrane jumps from node to node; this form of impulse propagation is called saltatory conduction (Latin saltare, â€Å"to jump†) (Morrell and Quarles, 1999, p. 1). The targeted practice triggers excitation. The myelin sheath increases the speed of the signal. â€Å"A darker more vivid way to appreciate myelin’s role in skill development is to consider diseases that attackShow MoreRelatedEssay on Mount Cedar Technologies10813 Words   |  44 Pagesat Cedar Tech consisted of John Curtis CEO/President and Co-Founder, Bob Holt Vice President of Finance and Human Resources, Frank Mathew Vice President of Sales and Co-Founder, and Sam Farris Vice President of Operations.
