Hard work cannot make up for a lack of talent, especially at the higher levels. East Asians may work hard, but they achieve because they have the brains to make that work pay off.Really? I was under the impression it can, to a certain extent. It's my belief that talent alone isn't enough; hard work is needed to exploit that potential. Someone who works hard will likely go farther than someone who is talented but otherwise doesn't work hard. To put it in physiological terms, the "work" exercises the brain, forcing it to build more connections to deal with the effort. Naturally, if the talented and untalented person work hard, the talented person will likely go farther. |
