Can working very hard ever make up for lack of talent/ability? When?

    Yes I think so. It works better than the other way around (one with talent but does not work hard). This would work better in business rather than the arts, I think. But still possible for the arts - people can learn how to tap into their creativity, if they really put their mind to it, and discover their own unique talent, or lead them to an innovative invention that makes them really successful. 

    It is an interesting concept - talent - I think it's safe to say that most people could not compose and play like Mozart no matter how much hard work they put in. Makes you wonder where that sort of special gift comes from, doesn't it?

    Indeed it does. That is one of the arguments for the belief in reincarnation. I would rather have a hard worker as an employee who wants to do his/her best with a good attitude than someone smarter and more talented who takes things for granted and doesn't apply him/herself. I have hired both kinds of people in my working life and I know whereof I speak! Thank you for your reply stars and Happy Sunday! :)

     Happy Sunday to you too! Reincarnation, yes, quite possible, but who would Mozart be a reincarnation of!? :P

  • Maybe for digging ditches, but not much else.

    Himself. Reincarnation means you keep coming back as someone else so at some point in a previous life there existed a person who composed great music and then died. When he came  back he already had all the gifts and expertise and knowledge he had developed from a prior life and brought them with him. That explains why at the age of 3 he composed a piece of music. At least that is what I read stars. Some say that deja vu is just a fleeting memory of what one experienced before in a prior life. Just as sometimes you can remember dreams and sometimes you can't. Mozart remembered his previous life at least insofar as his prodigious talent was concerned.  Of course I don't KNOW if that is true at all. Mozart may simply be an anomaly that will never be understood or explained. Thank you for your reply! :)
