Is Talent Everything?

Dear lovely people,

Blessed are they who are born with talents for they are naturally imbued with the predisposition to success in most that they do. So what about those who are not born with talents? Are they doomed for failure? A vehement NO is the best fit answer considering new thinking which states that hard work will mold and shape any given talent into a burning passion that can then bridge the gap between good and great and can even turn the slightest skill into something even more powerful than that of natural talent. “Hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard” says Kevin Durant.

If you truly have what can be describe as a burning desire to succeed, the only other thing to do is to put your bones and brains (mind) to it and work extremely hard. It’s my experience that no matter how much you yearn to open the gates of extraordinary success, if you are not determined and do not physically put in the requisite work, you can trust me that you will hardly ever reap the benefits. I therefore earn your credits in saying that even if you were born with no talents, you can through extraordinary hard work rise to become the best in your field.

This brings me then to conclude that no matter how talented you are in any field, combining such talents with hard work will leapfrog you to achieving even more than you could possibly ever imagine.

Forget about this old-school thinking that talent is the basis of everything and that even with hard work most people will still not beat people with natural talent. Such outmoded thinking is the reason why many a people never get to taste the benefits that come with extraordinary success. The bottom-line truth is that the reason the naturally talented rise to the summit is because they have the determination to make themselves even better and they clearly understand that with hard work, they will certainly become the best in their field.

Well, I am no magician to know whether you fall amongst those who willingly fold up their sleeves and put in the hard work in order to reap the extraordinary benefits? Why not, extraordinary people most often are just ordinary people who do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
