Which is more important for success: the natural ability you are born with or hard work? |
Today, many people try hard and work thoroughly to success in their fields. They continuously revise what they have mistaken and devote themselves to be better at certain part. However, the people who are ‘given’ for specific field is always exist. And because they have instinct and also trained when they are young, the people usually success is ‘given’ people. So, I think natural ability is weighty to people to success. To begin with, there are usually people who have ability which is naturally given to them. They tend to be outstanding in specific fields. This is because of their instinct in doing something. And this instinct is essential when someone tries to success in certain sector. The greatest composer Beethoven, for example, was born with ability in music. In the age of 5, he started to play piano for his own sake. And also, he made great master pieces in his childhood. However, there were lots of musician who tried really hard to be best in playing piano and composing music. But, in spite of his disability in his ears, he became the best composer in the music field. Furthermore, when people seem to have natural ability, they usually get trained earlier in their given part. So, while the normal baby learning language, they already concentrating on their own work. When I was in high school, I have a friend who is impressively good at math. He usually won the first prize at the contest whenever he attends it. So, I asked him “why are you so good at math?” then he said he studied math when he was 4year old because his ability in math was revealed by her mother. And he solved almost 100math problems every day since then. So, I thought that it is almost impossible to success in certain field without natural ability because they also try hard to success. To sum up, the instinct and the fact that naturally given people are trying harder, I strongly believe that given ability is important thing to success. Therefore, to be wise, people should work on the part that they have specific ability on that. |
