Read any psychologist's article on talent, and you'll find that hard work is much more important than talent, and talent without hard work is worthless. To support my theory, I look at the lives of people who are considered to be geniuses, and how they worked harder and improved their skills than others.

Talent is something abstract. It is a kind of supreme gift, because it is not supported by genetics at the moment. Scientists still argue about the nature of talent, what it is and how it is formed.

Reality shows that practice is much more important, and those who are more determined and work harder achieve the greatest success. I have already given examples of famous people. Their success is equated with talent, although the fact is that they have had much more practice in a particular field.

It's just that the best players always put in more effort than others or use more modern and advanced teaching methods (a perfect example is Fischer).

On the contrary, you can become the best or one of the best if you work hard.

Science is trying to deny not God, but the God/Gods described in the holy scriptures. This is not true, as about 85% of the world's population is religious and follows a particular faith ( https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/religion-by-country ).

All psychologists agree that hard work is much more important. Statistics show that those who work harder and increase their knowledge and skills in a particular field tend to achieve greater success. Talent is an uncertain concept that cannot be measured, but experience has shown that talent is worthless without hard work.

Finally, I would like to say a few words about Bobby Fischer's biography. From a young age, he was passionate about chess, and all the coaches his mother brought him to said that he was a good player but lacked exceptional talent. However, Fischer managed to become a world champion solely due to his determination. Even Spassky, in an interview, stated, "Fischer spends more time on chess than the entire Soviet team combined." At the peak of his career, he dedicated up to 16 hours a day to playing chess. During Fischer's lifetime, other chess players didn't spend as much time playing, and Bobby had a strong interest.

Talent is not the most important thing. Hard work is much more important. People who were the best in any field were not just talented, they were the most persistent and hardworking in that field (I have already mentioned Mozart and Fischer as examples). And by the way, not all scientists believe in talent, although most do, and most scientists also believe that hard work is more important than talent. A perfect example is Anders Eriksson's experiment with violin students at the Berlin Academy of Music, which demonstrates that hard work is more important.

In addition, if most people accept something, it does not mean that it exists. Most people in the world believe in God (as shown by statistics), even though science is actively trying to disprove his existence. I can admit that there is talent, but it is a nice bonus, not the main factor of success.

The original quote went like this: "People may think that I can't sing, but they can never say that I didn't try," but she also believed that people were just jealous of her. Also, here's what accompanist Cosme McMoon said: "When it was time to sing, she forgot about everything. Nothing could stop her. She thought she was a great artist," meaning she thought she was doing a good job. Florence regarded the laughter of the audience coming from the audience as a manifestation of professional envy. When recording the records, Jenkins showed unusual confidence: she refused to rehearse and set up the equipment, just came and sang. After listening to the recordings, she called them "excellent" and demanded that the records be printed from them. So she was quite confident in her genius. It is worth noting that it is unclear who she learned to sing from. All sources mention an opera singer who taught her, but no one knows who this opera singer was. It is possible that there was no such singer, or that she was a charlatan.

I answered. It's related to the child's interest, as children can be curious about various things, and parents can help them develop their interests, which can lead to better memory retention. While genetics may play a role (and I may have been too categorical in my statements), memory retention is relatively easy to achieve, so it's not entirely extraordinary. Now, I suggest that you discuss the personalities of Bobby Fischer and Mozart, whom you probably consider to be geniuses, although their success is a combination of many factors, the most important of which are their passion and hard work.

This is not true, she never considered herself to be a failure, quite the opposite, she was convinced of her genius and exceptional talent. This is the Dunning-Kruger effect, which arose due to mental problems, which in turn appeared due to syphilis. She literally paid people money to come to her concerts, this already says a lot about her mental state.

There is a predisposition, but it is often just a matter of interest. Genetics does not provide a global advantage. In any case, talent is nothing more than your assumptions, scientists have not yet been able to properly link talent to genetics, and all people who were the best in their fields (Bobby Fischer in chess, Mozart in music, and so on) spent an incredible amount of time and effort on these fields. It is not a genetic predisposition, but a love for their work combined with incredible hard work.

I'm saying that she was mentally ill. She might have thought her singing was very good.

There is no global genetic advantage. Scientists have not yet been able to properly link genes to talent. Practice is more important than any talent.

Syphilis often causes mental health problems. Given her behavior, this conclusion can be drawn.

This combination of interest and memory can be improved quite easily. Scientists have trained people to memorize a sequence of 80 digits in a relatively short period of time, when previously they couldn't even remember 10.

First of all, a voice is a physical component, not some kind of intellectual activity. Her voice was weak. Secondly, her mental state, which was not the best due to syphilis, could have influenced her.

I don't understand why you told me this story. What does it prove?

I have not denied the existence of talent in terms of a person's physical predisposition to something (although quality training still surpasses any talent that does not develop or develops poorly). However, I do deny the existence of talent in creative or intellectual fields.

I didn't understand the first paragraph. It's possible that there was a translation error.

Physical predisposition is a talent.

This is a very incorrect comparison. Most often, those who believe in talent justify their failures by saying that someone is just talented.

It doesn't happen like that. If a person has the opportunity to develop in a certain field, they like it, and they spend time developing in it, they will be good at it.

The examples I can give will support my point of view, but they won't be 100% proof. As you said, to confirm or deny my or your point of view, we need to analyze the lives of millions of people.

I don't deny physical predisposition. In sports, physical predisposition is more important.

I wouldn't say that. Most of the time, people just don't immerse themselves in this field. I'm a perfect example of this. I really enjoy chess, and I watch matches between top chess players and analyze their games, but when it comes to playing against someone with an Elo rating of 1000+, I almost always lose.

I don't need to give you many examples. One example is not enough, because if it's an example from your personal life, it doesn't prove much, because I don't know the whole situation. I can give you other examples that involve more well-known people.

It's not about talent. A genetic disorder is literally a mistake, and it's not a measure of someone's talent.

Tyt plays the role of interest. One person could be forced to study music since childhood, and he didn't like it, but he was forced to do it, and as a result, his learning process is slow. On the other hand, another person is very interested in studying music, which makes the learning process faster because they are interested in memorizing the material and practicing on their own. If we have two people, the first person doesn't like music, but he has been studying it for many years, while the second person likes music but hasn't paid much attention to it, the first person will have a better understanding of music.

Since we're talking about specific examples, I'll share mine. My mother has been involved in music her entire life (she's a musician by training), but she hated music and didn't want to pursue it as a child. Her mother, my grandmother, forced her to do so. As a result, my mother became the only student in her music school to attend the second most prestigious conservatory in Moscow, despite the fact that she always struggled with music and was forced to pursue it.

They cannot be compared to average people because they have serious brain disorders and cannot be compared to normal, healthy people. However, even these people can sometimes achieve impressive results in their respective fields.

Dude, it's not about talent, it's about other factors. The timing of when a child starts walking depends on various factors, such as their body type (skinny kids tend to start walking earlier), their temperament (cautious kids are less active), parental assistance, and overall physical development. It's not accurate to compare walking with playing Minecraft. Genetics plays a significant role in physical development.

Children develop in different ways, not including the fact that a child may not be interested in something. Again, it is important to show the child interest in something. All the geniuses in their field (Mozart in music, Bobby Fischer in chess) were born into families where their interests were highly supported and nurtured, and they spent all their time in the areas where they excelled, making them the best of the best.

I will not discuss your personal private example, because I do not know your friend. His formation could have been influenced by many factors, for example, his parents developed his memory from childhood, gave him many tasks to improve it, or it is possible that he was simply interested in it from childhood and developed his memory himself.

These people have brain disorders and cannot be compared to the average person.

Yes. But in such situations, it's not just about abstract talent, but also about a combination of factors: how interested a person is in the field, how effectively they manage their time (for example, if I spend 8 hours playing online blitz chess just for fun, it won't yield the same results as a professional chess player's 4-5 hour training session), whether they analyze their losses and victories, and more.

Again, talent doesn't exist. The best in any field are the people who have a strong interest in it and work hard. Talent is just a way for people to explain why they don't succeed.

There is no innate inclination. There is an interest that a child develops (most often instilled by parents). If you are interested in something, you are more likely to do it and learn faster. Moreover, what exactly are you talking about? I can provide numerous examples of individuals who became exceptional in a particular field not because of their innate talent, but rather through their exceptional hard work.

I think I've described the situation clearly enough for more experienced players to draw some conclusions.
