Do you think just anyone can be successful? How much is the amount of success in your future predetermined and how much is manageable by your work ethic? I've always been hyper aware of the fact that it's not the most talented people that get what they want or the jobs they deserve, it's the most persistent people. In fact, the majority of people who are blessed with natural talents are usually the ones that need to be motivated by their less abled yet more motivated peers.
So.. where do most of us fit in? Star quality, business prowess... the ability to be gracious in every occasion and liked by every person who comes your way... is it sent from the heavens to us like a lottery? I don't know. I guess most would agree that hard work + hard work + talent = success. (And in this day and age sometimes less than average talent + dumb luck + the internet = big bucks).
I guess there are no other options except to work hard at our crafts every single day and try to slot ourselves into every opportunity we can find, just hoping that one day success will appear in our hands. Hoping. Not ever sure. Maybe some people are just born to stumble across that pot of gold. Maybe they are born knowing where to find it while the rest of us simply search our whole lives, yearning. Maybe our futures have already been determined for us...
Maybe.
Maybe is good enough for me.
