They say that hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. I think that hard work is a talent. Hard work is something that you can get better at. The ability to focus, undisturbed, for long periods of time to study a technical topic, or to practice an artistic skill is itself a talent.
If hard work was so easy, everybody would do it. But some people have the self-discipline to dedicate time to getting better at working hard.
Push yourself to practice, study, and work hard. Cultivate your ability to work hard and then apply that practice and study to areas where you have some natural talent and you can accomplish great things.
