Comments on: Is Talent is Overrated? http://philcooke.com/talent_is_overated/ Change Revolution Tue, 22 May 2012 20:38:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Teresa Roberts Logan http://philcooke.com/talent_is_overated/#comment-9783 Teresa Roberts Logan Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://philcooke.vintom.com/talent_is_overated#comment-9783 I think it's wrong to say someone will never catch up to the others. Talent and hard work BOTH matter. I don't know anyone, comic, writer, author, or artist, at least in my circles, who hasn't invested a LOT more than 10,000 hours or 10 years to pursue their passions. I guess I'm just over these "Outliers" type mentalities who want it to be all black and white. It just isn't. I will let these dudes fight it out over the formulas, and keep on working, like I always have. It's funny to me that they even TRY to quantify it.
