Hard work and motivation will beat out talent almost all of the time when hard work works harder.

It is amazing to see how even one of the most prolific geniuses of all time didn't realize that he had a talent that most people never considered one. We all have our talents, whether our talent's are some set of athletic skills, skills of the brain, or just being passionately curious, we all have our talents. Never stop believing in yourself, and never think that your talents arent good enough for the world. Instead one must think in terms that the world is going to see their talents put to use in some form or fashion so that a person may leave their mark on the world by the time their life has passed.

When you continue to work hard in life, you will often find that your luck is often great, and that victories seem to come with less effort than you thought you may have to use.

To really be the best you have to believe that out of millions of people in the world that you can, and will work the hardest. Though there are many people out there, many who may have more talent than you, the difference between being a great, and being average or below average is being willing to make the most out of yourself by being willing to put in the most work.
