Average talent, plus hard work and dedication, will always beat talent by itself.
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.
Never be frightened by those you assume have more talent than you do, because in the end energy will prevail. My formula is: energy plus talent and you are a king; energy and no talent and you are still a prince; talent and no energy and you are a pauper.
Talent is nothing without dedication and discipline, and dedication and discipline is a talent in itself.
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.
See, talent is important, and so is hard work. But if you don't have destiny and good karma on your side, talent cannot do the magic by itself.
Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough.
My dad always said that hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work hard enough.
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.
My dad always said that hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard enough.
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.
Practice is a talent. Perseverance is a talent. Hard work is a talent.
Hard work pays off - hard work beats talent any day, but if you're talented and work hard, it's hard to be beat.
The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows.
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.
You can have average talent, but when God breathes on your life, you will go further than people that have great talent. Don't talk yourself out of it.
I'm all about talent. I love talent and I want to work with as much great talent as possible. My job as editor in chief is making the most of everybody's talent and pulling that together into a format that's even better than an individual.
