Talent Vs Hardwork
The essay brainstorms on the topic of “Talent Vs Hardwork” and it would be interesting to come up with answers to as to what is the route to success. What brings success? It is a question which can be answered in many ways. Is it talent which makes one successful or is it hard work? If we consider the only talent, then talent should lead to success and we consider the second option, then hard work should lead to success. The statement that hard work is the key to achieving goals and be successful seem a better argument to discuss. Many people can relate to working hard and honing their skills with practice. The topic raises curiosity and anxiety as people naturally will have different viewpoints. Recently “New York Times” reported that people with inborn talent, especially regarding intelligence do well as compared to others considering everything thing else to be equal. This makes sense, but so do numerous studies that show that hard work, routine and constant practice can help people to overcome the talent part. Studies even show that regularly focused practice can help achieving better results than talent alone. Laura stacks which is a time management and expert productivity points out that there might be people who are naturally talented dancers or musicians, some might be talented at managing time and others at managing people. People who do not have it naturally with hard work and focus can hone a particular skill as perfect as natural talent. Psychologist Anders Ericsson did research in which he cited that it takes approximately 10000 hours to master a skill such as music, sports, driving, cooking and much more. Tiger Woods started playing golf when he was just 18 months old, but stardom knocked his door when he was 18. There is no doubt that he is talented but yes, those two decades of regular practice definitely honed his skills. The challenges anticipated would be to determine how to motivate people for that constant practice and how to make them continuously strive to achieve perfection in a particular skill.
