I stumbled across a website today hosting a list of motivational quotes and most of them were along the lines of "perseverance is more important than talent". Then I started to digest it and found that's really the moto our whole society is built upon. The more I think about it the clearer it becomes: that is complete bullshit. There is a very large, overwhelming majority, of the population who could never compete in the Olympics no matter how hard they trained. Sure, if you don't have the motivation it is easy to squander natural talent and somebody who works like a dog can work their way up the ladder but what is talent if not our maximum potential? As somebody who works hard(ish) and lacks talent I can definitively say I would much rather have talent to squander.
