One thing that I’ve realized that’s very true is “Hard work beats talent when talent fails.” – Kevin Durant.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
It’s the same for everything else in life too.
I was participating at a basketball showcase at the University of Pennsylvania, and the coach was talking about the difference between talent and hard work. The coach himself said he preferreed hard work over talent any day.
He told us a story about two players he had, one was a very talented player and had NBA skill sets.
The other wasn’t as talented as him, but at the end of the day he would always work harder and was a better teammate and leader.
The talented player wasn’t as good of leader and didn’t work nearly as hard. He would get frustrated with his teammates often and had a lazy work ethic, and the coach didn’t like that so he took the teammate that worked harder.
In the end the teammate that worked harder ending up going farther in his basketball journey, and leading the team further.
LOVE WHAT YOU DO. DO WHAT YOU LOVE
I was very inspired to write this today because I put in a lot of time preparing for my math and chemistry quizzes, and ended up doing very well.
Just a daily reminder to all, put in the work and I promise you it will pay off.
