The big talent is persistence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
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.
There are lots of jobs in search of talent. And there's lots of talent in search of meaningful work.
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Again, talent is the real import of being in the business.
There is no substitute for talent. Industry and all its virtues are of no avail.
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.
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.
Timing and arrogance are decisive factors in the successful use of talent.
There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.
