Attitude counts far far more than talent.

I have been time and again repeatedly told that a strong positive attitude takes a man farther than his talent. There are many greats in sports, entertainment, politics, science and art, who had great talent but lost on huge counts only because of a faulty and shaky attitude.

Attitude helps you solve problems talent cannot. Attitude helps you navigate through problem talent hides.

Being very talented and gifted is like having huge stock of inventory lying around. High inventory covers problems on multiple levels (with a very high cost of maintenance). Being talented is similar.

You could achieve greater heights having a never-say-die attitude than being tremendously talented. I better be strong and positive than gifted.
