There are a lot of people who can slide on talent their whole lives; they're just naturally gifted. I've never considered myself one of those people. I enjoy outworking the opposition.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The thing about talent is that it comes at different ages, sometimes at a very early age. That's when I find it to be the most challenging.
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.
Everybody has talent, it's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is.
It's all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but it's that determination.
There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.
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's no such thing as talent; you just have to work hard enough.
Obviously talent gets you to a certain point, but it's what you do with it, how you handle.
Irrespective of whether you have talent or not, one has to work hard. Just being talented doesn't mean anything; you can end up wasting it before you realize.
I believe that every person is born with talent.
