Talent Vs. Hard work
[Music]
talent
what is talent
talent is a gift one is naturally born
with you’re amazing at something
right from the beginning so if you’re
born with a talent
your future is set right
your future is served to you on a golden
place where you were born extraordinary
and if you weren’t born with the talent
you were just
unlucky you can’t achieve anything for
you were born
a plain average human being and there’s
nothing you can do about it
right tons of people can be seen
everywhere on television on articles and
generally all over social media talking
about famous celebrities who’ve achieved
so much
throughout their lives like christian
ronaldo for example
christian ronaldo is an extremely
successful and skilled footballer who’s
considered one of the
best football players in history he’s
won over 30
major trophies throughout his career all
because he was really
talented right
you may have also come across selena
gomez
selena gomez is an extremely talented
singer-songwriter and
actress who started over 36 movies and
has several hit
songs there’s no doubt that she too is
exceptionally
gifted you may have also heard of
nikola tesla nikola tesla was a great
scientist inventor electrical and
mechanical engineer
who has contributed greatly to the
future of design
and technology he’s also shown sheer
talent throughout his life but
all we see is the result the main play
but we never see what happens before the
curtains open or the amount of
rehearsals before the performance
so we assume it’s just talent
but there’s something else a secret
that not many people know about and that
is hard work did you know
the christian ronaldo was first made fun
of when he started playing football at
the age of 11.
now he is considered a football god a
legend
only because he decided to work harder
than everyone else and selena gomez once
said
i’m not the best but i’ve worked hard
since i was seven
years old she’s been practicing with a
vocal coach
ever since and what about the fact that
nikola tesla used to skip eating
because of non-stop working in his lab
that’s impressive i can’t even go two
hours without a snack
if one is constantly told that they have
talent
and they’re they’re gifted they have a
lesser chance of actually being
successful in the future
why is that because the person begins to
think that their
talent will do it all for them and that
they no longer need to work hard
but the truth is no matter how gifted
you are
you still need to work hard because hard
work isn’t just one of the ways you can
succeed
it is the only way you can succeed
some people just sit there wasting their
gift relying on talent to do it
all and that strategy isn’t a real
strategy
as nothing in the world not even talent
can lead you to achieving your goals
in an easy way hard work beats talent
when talent doesn’t work hard
this is a quote by tim natke
but time is something that you were born
with and some people
aren’t born with one others may call you
talentless for that
now when someone calls you talentless it
may sound like a cold
insult but really all it means is that
now is the time
to stop thinking about being gifted and
to start working hard on what you love
to do because if all you care about is
being talented
you will waste your time when you could
be doing so much more
now let me go back to the very beginning
of my speech
when i said that if you are talented
your future is set
and if you are not you’re worthless
that is completely incorrect because now
every single one of you knows about hard
work and how
important that is in order to succeed
in this speech i hope i inspire you in
some way
my name is anushka and thank you for
listening to my speech
