My father taught me that the easiest thing to do was to quit. He'd say, 'It doesn't take any talent to do that.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's no such thing as talent; you just have to work hard enough.
Over the years I have been kind of lazy, thinking my talent alone can do it.
My dad always said that hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard enough.
I don't consider myself to be a major talent, so the only solace I can take is to hope I'm growing.
My dad has always been really helpful. He taught me that talent is a bonus, but persistence is what wins out.
What I lack in talent, I compensate with my willingness to grind it out. That's the secret of my life.
I was one of those lucky people with only one talent. It is harder for people with many talents to decide what to do.
At first I wasn't sure that I had the talent, but I did know I had a fear of failure, and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it.
Don't let anything but your talent affect your success.
The main thing to do is relax and let your talent do the work.
