you can be naturally gifted as being a hard worker......if your not then just being a hard worker will suffice

Hardwoker. an insane work ethic creates your Trumps...Jobs...and Gates. :yeshrug:

Ehh, Jobs and Gates had both. Trump had that good OK white privilege (and more gift than hard work).

Obviously both would be ideal, but if it's either or then naturally gifted, easily. Just look at sports, a naturally gifted athlete can have a poor work ethic and still make the league earning millions over his career. Ditto corporate America where you have drive-less talented cats coasting at work earning six figures leaving their work at work.

I see folks are still buying into that myth that if you just work hard you can make it big, y'all better smarten up :ufdup:

This question ignores the most important part of being successful, upbringing.

But as for the question, I'd much rather be hard-working but that's just me. Because at least I could live with the idea that I did the best that I could, which is most important to me.

Making it big isn't really that important to me, just getting the absolute most out of what I was blessed with.

Hard working in my opinion anyone could do my job but could they do it well and acurate is the questions and that's what separates the dirt bags from the real ones

:comeon:

The hood is also full of hard working cats (with no talent) who are just working hard in things that don't make money.

I think they still have a better shot than a nikka with talent that sits on his ass all day. Nobody is gonna come knock on your door and hand you shyt just because you're talented

Ima put it like this. Theres people that have had the talent to make the NBA, but ended up working at mcdonalds, some didnt even go to school at all, just because they were to lazy.

As for your first sentence here, you may be right.
As for the 2nd sentence, lol, you'd be surprised.


As mentioned earlier, this thread is stupid because so many things are ignored. I mean, just look at all the posts that automatically assume being talented = being lazy, as if it's either all or nothing with no shades in the middle. :heh:
