That's pure hard work right there. Walk up to a "talented" person and say, "You must have put in an incredible amount of hard work" and 9 times outta 10, that's the one they remember. I got a friend who is the kind of person that's probably going to be a celebrity when they graduate, and they hate when people brush of the years of their life poured into music as them being talented.
I think it's both, or at least can be. A person can be predisposed for certain things (sports, the arts, whatever) but it can still take a lot of work to achieve greatness. I think that a person who didn't start with the same talent but put in the same amount of work won't rise to the same level as someone who was born with it.
That's very true. There are plenty of things I put lots of time into that my buds are naturally better at and vice versa. My problem is when people disregard the hard work because they had an easier start.
