  • Why would you call this Talent is underrated? That goes against what Colvin is talking about.

  • Geoff

    Should this video not be called "Talent is Overrated " i.e. the same as the book?

  • Talent can only get you so far...I'd rather choose a person who has no talent, but is willing to learn and willing to work his ass off than a person who makes it look easy but is lazy as fuck...

  • its talent + work = greatness

    not work = greatness

    nor is it talent = greatness

  • Problem with this line of thinking is that it takes talent as the end product. (Gladwell makes the same mistake.) It is also the beginning point. Deliberate practice with a talented person brings greater results then with a nontalented person. Use DP with two singers, one tone deaf the other with perfect pitch, each practices 10,000 hours, the latter will excel in comparison. You cannot ignore the starting point. See Taleb's The Black Swan, chpt 8 understand the flaw here.

  • Now reading the book, and it is profound!

    Pay attention, folks.
