Talent Evidently Matters
Malcom Gladwell’s Outliers was hugely eye-opening and motivating to me. It’s core message is that hard work is what actually determines success, not talent. This article doesn’t negate that message, but it does attempt to balance it some.
In fact, it would be nice if they [intellectual ability and the capacities that underlie it] weren’t important at all, because research shows that those factors are highly stable across an individual’s life span. But wishing doesn’t make it so.
