Work Ethic vs Talent

Introduction

It's the age-old question: who is more successful, the hard working person or the talented one? You've probably heard different people give different answers to this question. Some will say that talent is what makes someone successful and others will say that it's hard work. But which one is it?

The Hard Working Person

Hard work is the key to success. It's a common saying, but it's true: if you want to get good at something, then put in the time and effort. The more time and effort you put into something, the better your results will be.

The same goes for hard work ethic--if someone has a strong work ethic and applies themselves consistently over an extended period of time (not just once or twice), then they will likely become very skilled at whatever task they're working on at that moment in time.

The Talented Person

The talented person is born with a natural ability to do something better than others. They may have a love for music, art or sports at an early age and excel at it because they are naturally gifted in that area. Talented people also tend to be more successful than hard workers because they don't need as much practice or training before doing their best work.

The more you work at something, the better you will get at it.

You can't be great at something without practicing it and putting in the hard work. Practice makes perfect, so make sure you're putting in the hours to get better at what you do.

Talent is important but it's not everything--especially if you don't have a strong work ethic to back it up.

If someone doesn't have that drive or motivation to improve their skills, then no matter how much talent they were born with or how much money they were given as a kid will not matter because they won't be able to use those things effectively unless they put some effort into developing them further by practicing regularly on their own time outside of work hours or during lunch breaks (if possible).

Conclusion

The harder you work at something, the better you will get at it. Talent is not a substitute for hard work; it's the result of hard work. If you want to be successful in any endeavor, whether it's building a business or playing an instrument, then you need to put in the time and effort required by your skill level.
