Personally, I feel that this issue is not discussed as often as it should be, and that in most cases the discussion strays into a narrative that is laudable in principle, but results in a repetitive platitude that leads people away from the initial problem: "Only hard work leads to success". And leaving aside the possible complications that this statement offers, I think it is useless to repeat it in such a condescending way to the frustrated man because he takes it for granted for the simple reason that it is necessary to work to even reach a loaf of bread.
If the reader will excuse the present for resorting to the merely anecdotal, I can say that my years of hard work have not taken me a formidable distance from the position from which I started, and many have objected that I may not have the talent of my peers, but that would not prevent me from mastering skills or achieving goals, and while I cannot deny or affirm this, I do believe that the violently competitive labor and social model by which the world is governed demands a speed of learning that will not be merciful to those of us who are not talented enough to meet these almost immediate demands.
It is said that the talented man who does not work hard is useless, but, and without wishing to argue with the accurate message of this phrase, it is very rare to see the talented man not working in that for which he is exceptional, whether driven by passion, by recognition or for economic reasons.
The untalented man can become the talented man with a lifetime of effort, but the talented man has his life covered to evolve beyond that, with the same ammount of hard work.
