High achievers, we imagine, were wired for greatness from birth. But then you have to wonder why, over time, natural talent seems to ignite in some people and dim in others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You need a lot of effort and talent to produce greatness.
Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
I believe that every person is born with talent.
Somehow our society has formed a one-sided view of the human personality, and for some reason everyone understood giftedness and talent only as it applied to the intellect. But it is possible not only to be talented in one's thoughts but also to be talented in one's feelings as well.
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.
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.
To my mind, talent doesn't really exist.
There's just a natural instinct to want to be great, I think.
Talent is nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.
