Is Talent All you Need?

     I believe, Talent is important. But it is not everything in a
person's life.
Talented people are those who can do certain things well that
others cannot.
Certain things are like a slice of pie in a world of pies.
I shoot pool. I astound my friends with 2, 3, and 4 cushion
shots.

I am elderly, and used to be a good pool player earlier in life.
My talent has improved to the point that I need take a few
weeks off to get rusty again.
My elderly friends cannot win, unless I let them.
We play a certain type of snooker game.
I handicap horse-races and get the winner before the race is
run.
My return on investment is indeed awe inspiring.
I have created 21 businesses in my lifetime.
Some skyrocketed and made great amounts of money.
Others failed.
But I never worked for anyone but myself since 1971.
I consider myself talented. But my talents are limited.
And, unless I take the first step. Talent doesn't matter.
My motto:
Courage means to be afraid to do something, but to go ahead
and do it.
