'Gratia'

What is 'Charisma' and why do some people have it while others only desire it?
The term is translated as, 'favored by/gift of/from God'.
If this is the case, can such a trait be learned or only earned?

Leaders from Jesus Christ to Adolf Hitler were said to have had charismatic personalities.
So, this 'gift from God' could be used for either good or evil?
Many celebrities are said to possess this trait - but are they only capable of exhibiting such traits while they're performing?
Some individuals have been popular since preschool and cool since kindergarten - are these people naturally charismatic?
Many today call this trait 'having game'.

But this trait often incites jealousy from those who only wish to be readily liked and accepted.
It's not always the richest person, he who is the strongest, he who is the best looking, he who is the smartest (Which is often the opposite of being charismatic.), or he who is the best at what he does - but these may help.
Often, those who are the best at what they do but not recognized as such become envious of those who seem to get things without effort.

The odd thing is - many charismatic people don't care about or even enjoy being easily liked by others.
The charismatic man is often respected even by his enemies.
Some hide in out of the way places in an attempt to hide their talents.
Some pretend to be less than they are.
Others only attempt that which they know they will fail. (But he often simultaneously succeeds in other pursuits in which he has no interest without seeming to put forth much effort.)
But this never works - the kingly is easily recognized as a king by the population of proles.
The humble man is elevated by God.

Are some truly blessed by God and destined to succeed regardless of his conditions, status or environment?
