Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everybody has talent, it's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is.
Talent without working hard is nothing.
Everyone has a talent. It's simply a question of good discipline, of the good fortune to have an education that meshes with that talent, and a lot of luck.
There's no such thing as talent; you just have to work hard enough.
To my mind, talent doesn't really exist.
Talent is talent, and everybody knows somebody who has talent or ability, but they never really converted it into a productive performance for whatever reasons.
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.
Obviously talent gets you to a certain point, but it's what you do with it, how you handle.
There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.
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.
