And yes, I am utterly dismissive of the idea of talent, which is irrelevant without work. Work without talent will get you pretty far. So talent seems to be a waste of attention.

I don;t think it is an either or situation. Where did you get the idea that any one said success only takes talent and no work It takes both, working hard with not much talent is the same as not working with a lot of talent.
If 10 people work equally hard on the exact same project, I think that eight will come up with good work, one will not succeed and one will end up with something new/different/better. And that\'s because he/she is more talented, or smarter or takes one more chance.
Most of us are in the 80% and sometimes we (at least I do) get into the 10% on either end.
If all it took was \"working harder, or longer hours\" all of us would be alot more successful than we are
Interesting take on a somewhat creative business.
The difference between hard work and no talent and no work and talent is this - work + no talent generates results and talent without work sits in mom\'s basement. The secret to generating work is not having talent, it is going out and generating a lot of work.
