Success is always a combination of capability and hard-working nature for any individual. While some
people
 say that any achievement is a mix of 10 parts of
talent
 and 90 parts of hard
work
, others defer
this
 view. In
this
 essay, I will detail out why the former group opinion is correct and provide the necessary reason to back up my opinion.
People
 who think that
talent
 takes the major part of success have their own reasons to support it. Primarily they believe that person who is born with special abilities doesn't need any other aspects to achieve their goals. They
also
 think that successful
people
,
for instance
, Elon musk who has become the world's richest man overnight because of his investment in Bitcoin is because of his
talent
 to think about the future beforehand and take risks to invest in cryptocurrency. But, the amount of planning and investigation efforts that went into buying those would have been humongous. Having
talent
 is an additional benefit to any individual.
However
, without any hard
work
 to achieve the goal is waste of time and energy.
On the contrary
, many
people
, including me, believe in hard
work
 that pays off. Even though
people
 don't have enough
talent
 at times will be able to reach their destination with perseverance and dedication traits. Hardworking individuals will keep trying for results and never stop at failure,
moreover
, they learn from them. Einstein himself quoted in his writings,
for example
, that his
talent
 was proved when he has worked hard enough to prove it after the invention, which almost took 10 long years for his relativity theory. It was proven many times that working hard alone leads to success, but
talent
 alone cannot get any results without putting in the minimum effort. In conclusion, some
people
 believe that contribution of
talent
 is 10 per cent and the hard
work
 is 90.
However
, others contradict
this
 statement. I honestly agree with the former statement as without hard
work
, having
talent
 alone doesn't lead to any positive results.
