"Talent is great, but all it does is give you a head start. You still have to work hard to win."

You may think that success is only available to people who are naturally gifted or people who are 'born lucky'. Many people say this of successful people that they 'got lucky'. It's sometimes the case, but for the most part, it's the result of very hard work.

Getting to the top is not easy, at least not at the moment. It might become easy in the future, but for now we have to work hard to achieve great things. Talent isn't the whole story. Talent means a natural tendency to be good at a particular thing. It can vary from person to person, but it generally means a 'knack' for something.Talent can be built and 'grown' with hard work, but it's usually the natural sort of 'gift' for a particular thing. People who could be said to have 'talent' are people who have achieved greatness at their particular area of interest in life.

Talent isn't everything although it is useful.Talent is the fuel for the fire, it will kick-start you towards success and make things easier to get going in the beginning but if you have some who is very talented but doesn't work hard, and someone who is not talented but works really hard, the person who works hard is usually going to succeed more.It's a simple thing to understand really, if one guy's getting up at 7, and the other at 3, the guy waking up at 3 to work on the skill of running in this example, has more time to train.

They have more time to practice and improve, and when they've run the practice race 2-3 times, the other 'naturally talented' guy is only just waking up. Competition never ends, even when talent does. Suppose a talented person gets through the audition of a dance show, leaving behind thousands of people. His talent got him there. But once he is through, his penance for hard work takes a front seat now. He will face equally talented people, even much more talented than him. All that will take him forward now is his dedicated hard work.

The more work you put into something the more you'll get out. If you want to become a really fit, athletic person then workout. Eat the right food and although you may not have a natural 'talent' or aptitude for it at first in time and with a focused amount of really hard work you'll become a master. People will consider you talented but what's really happened is that you've become a master through repetition, belief and hard work! It's the best way to be because then you know that when you've 'made it' in whatever avenue of life you're going down, it's well deserved. You've fought your way to the top and now you can enjoy being a king! (Or queen).
