“Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work...”― Albert Einstein The above quote coming from one of the geniuses of all time, I have to agree that hard work is much more important than talent. Some people are naturally gifted and talented, while others are working hard to be as good as those individuals. I feel as though with a good work ethic, you can achieve anything. For example, I’m way better at maths than I am at history/sociology class, but with hard work, I am able to maintain the same grade in both classes. If somebody has a talent, it doesn't mean that they don’t have to work hard to be successful. Nobody is perfect, and there is always something that people have to work hard at to succeed. However, does talent make life easier? Yes, but whether you are willing to work at something determines if your talent is useful. In conclusion, talent and hard work together can get any person to success, but working hard and putting extra effort can lead you to success and that success could actually be more durable because "Practice makes man perfect." We’ve all heard that hard work is the key to success. It is said that the “profoundly gifted” still have an edge over peers who have less natural talent but are perhaps more dedicated to improving their skills. If you've got the inspiration but you don't work hard, it's not possible to get very far. It's much better to rely on hard work than to rely on talent. You might have talent in some fields but if you do not practice it for a long time, you may not be able to perform well. This is why even naturally talented athletes put hours and hours of effort in practice to better themselves. Have you experienced the power of talent over hard work? Or have you found that success comes to the person willing to put in the most time and effort to achieve it? Talent is something you already have and having some inborn skill will always take you far. But hardwork is more important because no matter how talented you are and you don't put up work at all youbcan be an epic fail. talent comes from hard work. Nobody (or almost nobody) is born with some natural talent that they can just use in their daily lives and make a living out of. All behaviors, habits, qualities, and faults of humans are learned. Even fear and anger are learned, according to a recent study. So, why would a talent just be part of our DNA? I suppose "talent" is circumstantial and open to interpretation, though. I think the saying "rome was not built in a day" could apply here. Everything takes time, and if you want to succeed at something, it will take a long time. It requires dedication.
