I write to you, young talented people who think talent is all they need in this planet called earth, I'm so sorry to burst your bubbles but that is and can never be the case.
Hard work is a combination of two words that would still make perfect sense when used alone:
*Hard*- Strong, solid and able to withstand pressure,
*Work*- efforts expended on a particular task.
Joining these two words gives us a definition that is *efforts that can withstand pressure expended on a particular task*. Mind you, hard work isn't being on everything at the same time, It is expending efforts that can withstand pressure on a particular task, don't be a jack of all trade and a master of none.
So many of us have heard this saying overtime but we really don't understand, let me try to break it down, when you are on everything, you'd never achieve anything, trust me, try watching TV and using your phone at the same time, to you its like you're doing two things at a go but one way or the other, you miss a scene or a message(this happens a lot of times, in our subconscious mind, we have replied but we haven't) in the long run. Hard work is always directed at a task not at tasks at a go.
Talent on the other hand is an inborn ability, an inborn potential, a thing you do without stress, mind you nobody is *Talent-less*, we are all talented but we all don't have the same number of talents. I can have three and you have eight, that doesn't make me inferior, the basic truth is we're both talented, the results we achieve will determine the better of us two.
Let me shock you, *we're all talented but not all of us will be successful in life*, this is not about the stupid African notion that some are born for wealth while others are born for penury, there is nothing called *LUCK*(if you are close with me, you'd have heard me say nothing absolutely nothing happens by coincidence), Don't be deceived!
I always like to ask this question when I speak along this line and the question is *HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN ATHLETE WIN THE OLYMPICS GOLD MEDAL BY CHANCE?*, It is a product of determination, consistency alongside the deployment of talents.
Don't be cajoled! No matter how multi talented you are, you'd end up in penury, if you don't join hard work, determination and consistency alongside the deployment of your talent in the success equation.
This in my opinion is the complete success equation
*God + Talent + Hard work + Determination + Consistency= Success*
Join us in 2019 as we discuss each variable in the success equation
