Have you ever heard the following phrase: ”I’m not doing it, because I’m not talented like him”. But Stanley Franker, Dutch Davis Cup Coach, when answering the question:”What makes the top elite fifty players?” said: “Be highly motivated. Talent doesn’t get you anywhere”. Other coaches answered the same question this way: “One hundred percent dedication”; “Determination and good attitude”.
So it's vital to understand this! If you have a talent, it doesn’t mean you achieved or will achieve something in life. You need to be not just motivated, but highly motivated. And motivation is related to such qualities as dedication, determination and attitude. If you have a talent, that’s fine! But you would need to embrace those qualities too, to make a difference in your life.
