Talent is overrated.
from In the Works with Vivi · host Vivi Huynh
My insecurity led me to believe that what I want out of life is only for the most intelligent, the most fortunate, and the most talented. The truth is that there is so much more to a person that makes them well-established and world-class at something. You’ve heard the phrase before: Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Working hard is a given. Why do we spend so much time focusing on talent, and so little time developing character? We all want to be the talented ones, yet talent is limited. Increasing your character is virtually unlimited. If this is a topic that interests you, I hope you stick around. And if you’re reading this, I just love you!
