The Importance of Hard Work
It does seem that some people achieve success more easily thanothers. It is often said that their success is due to good luck orthat they are simply more talented than others. This may be true,but I think it is important not to ignore the value that hard workplays in any success.
In some fields, such as music and art, it is necessary for a personto have some natural ability. However, talent is not enough. Ittakes hard work to develop such a talent. Musicians must practice;artists must study. If a talented person makes no efforts toimprove his skills, he will always be someone with potential, butnever someone who has realized it. In addition, one who is notespecially talented can still succeed if he is willing to workhard. And his hard work may lead him to discover talents that henever knew he had.
Therefore, the person who has never been called gifted should notdespair. As long as he makes an effort, he is bound to have somesuccess. Moreover, if he never tries, he may never discover hishidden talents.

努力的重要性
有些人似乎真的就是比其他人容易成功。人們常認(rèn)為他們會成功是因為運氣好,或是比別人有天分。也許這是事實,但我認(rèn)為,不要忽略努力在所有成功事例中的價值是一件很重要的事。
在某些領(lǐng)域中,如音樂與藝術(shù),必須要本身具有天賦。然而,光有才能并不夠,還必須努力才能發(fā)揮這項才能。音樂家必須不斷練習(xí),藝術(shù)家必須不停地鉆研。如果只是有天分,卻不肯努力改進(jìn)自己的技能,將永遠(yuǎn)只是個有潛力的人而無法將其具體發(fā)揮出來。再者,一個人即使沒有特別的天分,只要肯努力,一樣能成功。而且,通過努力也許還能讓他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己以前所不知道的才能。
因此,即使從未被人視為有天分,也不應(yīng)該絕望。只要肯努力,一定會有所成就。而且,如果沒有嘗試過,可能永遠(yuǎn)都無法發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的潛能。
