Does hard work beat natural talent?
Personally, i'm naturally talented but really lazy... can't stand too much hard work (unless its a lot of pk)

What do you guys reckon?

It really depends on the individuals at hand. A person may be naturally talented, but if they never work they'll never get much better. One can work hard enough to surpass someone with natural talent, but I believe this may be a lot harder for some people. Hard work can beat natural talent, of course, it just may be really hard work - for some, if you don't work hard enough, you'll never even begin getting anywhere.
Then again, what do I know? Smile

I'm somewhat naturally talented but I don't have a lot of time to practice nor work effort so... I'm not too great but I'm definetly not newbish!


I would call myself... an experienced psion although not necessarily a uber-powerful psion.

and I have come to the conclusion that I have at least some kind of natural inclination to psi considering the talent I have and the practice I put in.

What sirius said. However some naturals have a tendency to be unable to control their ability.

I don't think either is the strong one.

About half the stuff I see reminds me of a quote, actually. on Wed Jan 10, 2007 1:55 am

Reminds me of a quote I heard in high school...

"Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy."

Anyways, I think they both have the potential to "beat" the other one. It depends on how much hard work and how much natural talent.

I think talent would be the better of the two.
Hard work gives experience. Sure, thats great, but it can be gained by anyone. Talent can't be gained, its just there.

I'm thinking it's possible that Stormcloud here is suffering from what I like to call "True Skeptic's Syndrome."

I heard that with musicians, it's 80% talent and only 20% hard work. Smile
