Success is a combination of effort, talent and hard work. There's got to be hard work and mental toughness. It's not just one thing that gets you there it's an accumulation of things
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.
Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough.
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.
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.
I tell people that it's one thing to have the gift and the talent and work hard but another thing to have the favor of God in making it all work, and I think all those are factors.
One thing you notice is, there's a lot of people with raw talent, and then there's people who take that talent and work hard.
You just have to find that thing that's special about you that distinguishes you from all the others, and through true talent, hard work, and passion, anything can happen.
Hard work pays off - hard work beats talent any day, but if you're talented and work hard, it's hard to be beat.
Nobody has enough talent to live on talent alone. Even when you have talent, a life without work goes nowhere.
A lot of people have a lot of talent. What people don't have is the will to work hard enough to develop that talent fully.
The next generation did not seem to be smart enough to realise that you have to work to be at the top and to stay at the top. You can have talent, but if you do not work hard it's not going to happen.
Whatever you do, if you do it hard enough you'll enjoy it. The important thing is to work and work hard.
I believe in talent. I know you're not supposed to believe in that anymore because you're supposed to believe if you just work hard you can do anything. That's how you succeed, maybe. But talent is something you're born with. You cannot acquire it by working hard, and you cannot lose it by lying around either.
