I was once of the opinion that talent did exist but having seen numerous examples of "talented" people whose back stories I am familiar with I have changed my mind. I now believe that what most think of as talent is mere the fruit of hard work, industriousness, and patience without ceremony or pretence. If this is indeed so than it seems (to me at least) that such a thing should be more widely imitated. If there is something you are not good at that you do nothing to improve upon than that is a shame. Contrarily (a rather dated word maybe but useful nevertheless) if you work to improve on something that is otherwise deficient in yourself, and encourage others to follow suit, than you will usually find the effort and time wise investments. After all even if effort leads no where one will have proven to oneself that personal deficiencies are mutable.
