[quote=Anonymous]The "gift" is a necessary but not sufficient element of "success". The gift, coupled with hard work may get you there. Michael Jordan did not become the greatest basketball player ever just on the gift, but, others worked just as hard, but did not have the natural ability. Similarly, I have worked with people that were hard working -- always hard working, but did not have the intellectual horsepower. There are people who are intellectually gifted and hard workers, and they are the intellectual leaders. As an example, Steve Jobs is notorious for his hard work. But, there are many people that worked just as hard that did not have his vision. Hard work coupled with giftedness can make one a leader in the field, whether it be basketball, football, baseball, poetry, or physics. [/quote]
