1. Understanding Potential Potential is an ability that is possible, but not yet achieved. An infant has the potential to walk, talk, and run. A five-year old has the potential to be an electrician or an engineer. A ten-year old has the potential to be an artist or an astronaut. Potential is something that a person or a thing has the ability to become. A piece of wood has the potential to be a sculpture or a table top. A piece of cloth has the potential to become drapes or a dress. A tiny seed can become a very large tree. What a person or a thing becomes, depends on the place, people, and resources present; and how they interact with one another.
