(Part 3 of 5)
If success were easy, it wouldn’t be worth much. Talent is over-rated, an excuse for those who view themselves as something less than they could be.
Many people regard Mozart as a “child prodigy,” as if what comes so difficultly for others came naturally to him as a youngster. Actually, from the time he could walk, he ate, slept, and breathed music. He copied the masters. He had a private tutor. By age twelve, he had more practice than most musicians experience in a lifetime.
What we see in others are the results of many hours of hard work. If we see the value, we’ll do the work, causing those who haven’t invested the time to recognize us as “talented.”
