Many people ponder what is more important - talent or hard work. Talent is that ability that one is naturally gifted with, that makes a person great at one or several things. A hard-working individual is someone who puts more effort into doing something and completes tasks diligently.

Recently I got acquainted with the book "Talent is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else" (Geoff Colvin), in which the author gives very strong arguments in favor of the fact that hard work is more important than talent.

@iren_bioinformatician I agree. Talent is overrated. Btw, how's the book?
I think so. As Thomas Edison said, “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.”
