@tonari_no_panda hey im 24 male here let's became friends
Which is more important? Talent or hard work?.
-
Mhh i think hard work beats talent....what u say
-
Hard work beats talent, btw rag you're already first in reputation, why you so thirsty for rep my guy
-
I personally think smart work is better than hard work
-
@jamjam hahahah nothin much bruh just need to educate
-
Talent is like a head start and hard work is like the actual grinding done in a video game.
The one with the head start (talent) had got it a bit more easy but with enough grinding (hard work), it is possible to beat them.
-
Hard work.

Mary has talent
Bob has no talentMary works less and can achieve what she wants
Bob needs to work hard to achieve what he wantsFor Mary, work is easy
For Bob, work is hardMary is happy
Bob is also happy (how?), since he works hard he can feel satisfied with his hard workMary can achieve more with less effort and feel good about herself
Bob can achieve the same with more effort and also feel good about himselfSome people are gifted, some aren't
When you ask if talent or hard work is more important, I say they're both important
But when you have talent, things are easier for you -
@amaris
where did you copy paste that from lmao -
@kξk
From my mind, you should try it some day -
Both are important. Hard work awards a sense of accomplishment. Talent gives you things easily. For the sake of having to deal with more, Hard work just seems to have more respect. kinda.

@veitak
they are both irrelevant, all you need is luck -
@kξk luck is probability. you don't take terrible chances when you're trying to publish a book.

@veitak
books dont get you famous or give you money, its all about luck and what the genre of the year or the decade is the most bought -
@kξk not really. All genres of books are frequently bought, there's not too much of a mainstream thing in books. They get you famous and give you money if you make a great book, as many have done in the past.
-
- Romance
- Crime mystery
- Religious
- Science Fiction
- Horror
-
@kξk All bought very frequently if they're good books.

@veitak
No, number 1 doubles number 2 in revenue in 2012 -
@kξk
5. 79.6 Million
1 . 1440 Million (or) 1.44 Billion -
@kξk doesn't matter, you still get fame and fortune for making a good book. if you make a bad book in any genre, you get nothing close to what you get if you had talent or put hard work into it.

So let’s do some quick math here: Let’s say you get a $5,000 advance for your book and you get 10% royalties net profit, and the book’s list price is $25.00. That means you are making $1.25 per book, and that you will need to sell 4,000 copies of your book just to break even. Thus the averages say that you will never make a penny from royalties off sales of your book (earn out). The average US non-fiction book sells about 250 copies a year and around 3,000 copies over its lifetime.
