We make a mistake when we tell our children things like, "You can do this, you are so talented." The mistake comes from leaving them no place to turn when they fail.
If success comes only from talent and you fail, what are you supposed to do? Get more talent?
On that other hand, if we stress hard work, passion, being prepared, going the extra mile, failure means you can work harder, be more passionate, prepare more, go two extra miles.
Of course, talent is huge plus. Talent plus hard work is fairly unbeatable.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work
