'hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard' - quote from a basketball player or coach (dont remember which) but I feel that is true in all aspects of skill based work, one thing talent can do is cause someone to become lazy and complacent which in turn leads the guy/girl who is working themselves as hard as they can to surpass the level of talent the other person has. In the end it comes down to both have to work as hard to master their craft and succeed, being talented is not enough to get you where you need to go, gotta work just as hard as those around you and in the end both the person who came with some natural ability and the person who didn't will be deemed talented because their hard work has paid off and it will show in their ability and skillset.
