Skill is acquired, talent is what you are born with

@Muzna

it is a skill and can be acquired…
many folks who are witty and have the ability to think on their feet are well-read as well as street-smart…they tend to stay on top of pop culture and have a pretty decent grip on what’s going on around them.
of course a sense of humour is a must.

I am not sure how important is having knowledge of pop culture, and I never ever understood the rationale behind why having knowledge of pop culture is so highly valued in our society. Now if someone can crack a sciency witty joke, they will be on the top of the list of my favourite people. A LOT of witty people I have come across have no other knowledge than pop culture shows like The Family Guy or sports. How is that even being street ‘smart’?

My advice to you is that it is ok to not be witty, be a good approachable person.

Hhmmm ok. I guess I wnated to know more about like at work…like when you’re put on the spot with a manager/coworker. Alot of jobs (actually I think almost every single job position) says they want u to be quick on your feet, a fast thinker etc. and that I want to know, if it can be acquired or you’re just not that type.
