Some people on DCUM want to believe that genetics beats effort.

You can't teach "tall".  I think that photo is a poor example.  [b]The little guy isn't gonna get that basket[/b].

Some people can outwork everyone in sports and have no success because the genetics aren't there.  Period.

There are limitations to intelligence as well.  Hard work at the Office can win over a smart person that has zero motivation and does not apply themselves. But, the naturally intelligent one will still score higher on IQ tests and be able to skate by doing less work.  I see my kids don't have to study even 1/8th as much as some of their friends and they never take home less than an A.  I got my best friend a job and her husband was like "how come you aren't stressed and don't have to do involuntary over-time just to keep up like my wife?".   She has had some performance/numbers issues--though she is working much more.  I don't know, but I get my work done in much, much less time and it's 'good' work on quality reviews so it's not like I'm churning out crap.  I do read and process information very quickly.  I am concise.  My boss said I say in 2 pages what another co-worker takes 15 pages to say.  I don't miss any of the points and everything is there and adequately explained.[/quote]

So.... about that.

The taller guy (7'7) played in the NBA for about 12 years. Scored over [b]1,599[/b] points.
That little guy (5'6) played in the NBA for about 12 years. Scored over [b]8,072[/b] points.

As to your relationship with your best friend's husband - why even put that out there?[/quote]
