Which is more important for success: the natural ability you are born with or hard work?
You can be born with great talent and ability, but without hard work and initiative you won't find yourself accomplishing anything. Merry Christmas Seckin!
You CAN be born....?
1. Impersonal you RE birth
2. Improper use of "can"
3. And those who inherit fortunes?
4. Nobody is coddled from cradle on up?
5. Great talent requires need for exertion?
Thank you so much JThomp42. Merry Christmas
Thank you so much Seckin! Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas!!
Hi Seckin... I think both are important to success Hard word and making the most of your natural ability both contribute to success. But I think many of us end up frustrated because the world we live in does not embrace and encourage natural talent like it once used to
For me, hard work is above all such natural abilities. We can achieve any damn goal in the world, we just need to have a strong aim plus the hard work.
Define success. If it's money and status, then what you're born with by and large predetermines your standing.
The way you put it, hard work is a controllable factor.
The way it is, hard work is all some people know -- and how to survive.
That's why, to SOME people, "hard work" is nothing but a metaphor for people who have a choice to "work hard."
Its the Hard Work that can make one person successful. So it's more important. All of us was born with different abilities. But if you will not work hard to improve those God given talents and skills then I believe you'll never meet the word SUCCESS!
thank you so much for the answer dscarcha.

Each of us bring along a natural gift when we are born. Mine is musical talent and ability and a loving nature. I've tried to use these gifts to encourage others in a positive way. You may think you have no talents or abilities. Oh, but you do! Even a smile to light up...

Is a person's passion for what he or she does more important than giftedness for success?People strive to succeed in different spheres. But I sometimes wonder whether or not their passion for what they do, is a greater factor for their success than their talents and abilities.
