Hard work beats talent

"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." said by Kevin Durant. This quote really struck home for me when I first heard it. To me it meant that no matter how much talent someone has and is willing to be slothful with it then a guy with little talent but having the will to work as hard as they can to enhance it. I try to live by this quote knowing many other people have far greater talent then me but I am willing to work hard to get to that next step. It is a hard quote to understand , to many people they may think just because this person has a lot of talent they think this person has arrived. For that person with all the talent doesn't know the guy that wasn't privileged to have all that talent is working twice as hard as the person with all talent. Day by day we look at that those people with all the talent but of in the distance there is someone working harder than that person who isn't working . I do believe it's true in sports and true in the everyday life that "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." Kevin Durant
