Why Talent Alone Fails: The Surprising Key to True Success Revealed
And luck is a factor too. The most genius writer on the planet will never write a book if they don’t have the opportunity to learn how to read and write. I’ve sometimes wondered how many illiterate Mark Twains or Maya Angelous might be living in our world. Can you imagine the great literature we’re missing out on? That’s why education is so important.
Talent doesn’t give writers every advantage they need in order to write well. One child might struggle with reading comprehension but easily put their thoughts and ideas into prose. Another might inhale books with ease from a young age but find organizing their thoughts on paper challenging. Some other kid might have a knack for storytelling but struggle with spelling. It’s nice to have an edge, but since writing requires a vast set of skills, talent is unlikely to give you a complete edge.
