Here there is a book that everybody should read. What the Senior Editor at Large of Fortune Geoff Colvin is explaining, is that "scientific evidence doesn't support the notion that specific natural talents make great performers-and such talents may not even exist". In other words, only hard work makes good results. No matter if you don't have any particular talent to do a specific job, if you work very hard you will be successful. As Colvin says, "It's difficult. It hurts. However, more of it equals better performance. Tons of it equals great performance". I believe that's a hope's hymn, each of us needs to have very powerful intrinsic motivation to reach his own goal. In some way, it looks like the old American Dream: dream any dream you like, but then get up and do something about it.
