There is no denying that some of the best athletes and musicians have natural talents that help them to be better than most, but is that the main reason why?
Talent
 does help them to be some of the best, but it is their hard
work
 added to their
talent
 that separates them from everyone else. Though
talent
 is definitely used to choose some of the best players, hard
work
 is the most dominant factor. When
someone
 is born talented they are seen as having potenti

successful, but
this
talent
 becomes wasted without any hard
work
 because people need to

 to improve, do not

 and the risk is loosing a

 one might have. On average, those who had more

 performed at a much higher level than who had little practic

 works the better they become. Unlike hard
work
,
talent
 is something
that is
 a natural gift but easy to lose. Even though you may have a
talent
 you will lose it if you won't
work
 hard. Your natural gift will be wasted. If you do not
practice
 what you have already learnt you will soon forget it.
This
 is why many people say '
practice
 makes perfect'. Even if
someone
 is talented at something, their
talent
 can disappear if you don’t
work
 hard to maintain it. If the

For example
,
someone
 could have played a sport and be seen as a talented athlete
but if the

 is basically useless.
For example

 doesn’t matter; it is the

 as hard due to the fact that
this
person
 is able to use less energy to attain decent results. In order to achieve the same results as the talented individual, a hard working
person
 must harness their potential and try their best. As people
work
 hard and begin to see themselves improving they begin to become determined because they believe they can keep improving, and they are able to reach their goal.

Someone
 can train hard and become successful, but they can not

 a
