Some people are naturally talented at things. It’s no different than an average athlete who works extremely hard and an elite athlete who puts in half the work but still outperforms the average.
- p-e-w 4mo agoWhat? Elite athletes put in unimaginably more work than average athletes.
- almost_usual 4mo agoElites who put in a lot of work are world class. You can’t outwork genetics.
- bandofthehawk 4mo agoI think what he meant was that you can take a group of people and train them for a sport. Some of those people (genetically elite athletes) will improve very quickly with minimal training, others can do massive amounts of training and never reach beyond a certain level.
- SJC_Hacker 4mo agoNot necessarily. See George Best
- abstractcontrol 4mo agoYes, this is what I mean. It's not that talent doesn't exist, but it's never the case that people on the top of their domain work less hard than others. In fact, it's the opposite. People don't have talent, the talent has them.
