Practice and talents

Practice is the key to becoming the master of your craft. However, there needs to be talent there, to begin with.

There is a certain baseline you’re born with and you can sharpen that with practice. Practice can’t make you Michael Jordan, you need to be born with that. But Jordan wouldn’t be Jordan without practice.

The two go together and ultimate success isn’t there without both. Practice without the natural talent is a futile life of busting your chops trying and wondering why you never quite get to that legendary status. Talent without practice is a life filled with untapped potential and regret.

Find what you’re good at doing and practice until you’re great at doing it.
