My dad always said that hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard enough.
Hard work pays off - hard work beats talent any day, but if you're talented and work hard, it's hard to be beat.
In the contest between talent and hard work as to which is the more important element of success, there's no comparison. A mediocre talent with lots of hard work will go further than a stellar talent who coasts.
Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough.
I like to speak with more experienced people - with the staff, the manager - and get a lot of advice. But from a young age, I always remember that talent is good, but hard work beats talent.
Work hard! In the end, passion and hard work beats out natural talent.
Hard work beats talent, and I live by that.
Talent! There's no such thing as talent. What they call talent is nothing but the capacity for doing continuous hard work in the right way.
Average talent, plus hard work and dedication, will always beat talent by itself.
In the end, passion and hard work beats out natural talent.
Practice is a talent. Perseverance is a talent. Hard work is a talent.
There are two kinds of talent, man-made talent and God-given talent. With man-made talent you have to work very hard. With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a while.
The separation of talent and skill is one of the largest misconceptions in modern society. Talent is something you born with, but skill can only be attained through Hours and Hours of hard work perfecting your talent as a craft. Which is why Talent will fail you without skill.
People tend to believe that good fortune consists of equal parts talent, hard work, and sheer luck. It's hard to deny the roles of the latter two. As to talent, I would only say it consists primarily in finding the right moment to step in.
There's no such thing as talent; you just have to work hard enough.
Nobody has enough talent to live on talent alone. Even when you have talent, a life without work goes nowhere.
