The Myth of Talent →
Michael’s inspirational words on talent:
Becoming good at something takes a lot more than just talent. It takes hard work — pure, unbiased, hard work. Pressing on, day after day. Pulling your hair out in frustration, night after night. It’s definitely much easier to believe in luck, instead of actually having to put hard work, time, and effort into something.
I agree with his statement in how some individuals blame themselves for not pursuing a passion they might have considered at some point. They deny themselves the possibility of being great at a craft because once they compare themselves to other people that might have developed themselves more in that particular field, they lose motivation and interest in trying it out themselves. Something like this is motivational for me in trying to create something of my own.
I’m particularly passionate about photography and like Michael, I very often receive great feedback on my photos and something that I continue to struggle with is turning that warm reception into confidence and knowing that I can do more with the passion and eventually do away with the excuse of saying “maybe I’m not that good”. It seems as if I should follow more my own advice. This year all that is changing.
