talent without hard work will not get you anywhere

there are a lot of talented people in various fields – sports , medicine , science , research , computers , business

but the ones who succeed are the ones who put the efforts , the hard work .

the coach of the basketball team los angeles lakers said that kobe bryant was not the most talented player out there , but he was the most hard working

during half time in the game , most players would be on the cell phones checking messages , kobe would be checking the recording of the first half – checking his play

cricket players who study the game of the opposition and research on the weaknesses of the opposite team , watch how the players got out and to what are likely to succeed more .

so talent is important , but hard work is a lot more important

as the saying goes : success is 5 % inspiration & 95 % perspiration !
