I don’t have the most natural writing talent.
I certainly don’t have more than my share
of good luck.
I haven’t yet gotten that big break.
I can’t control those things.
I CAN control how hard I work
and this hard work has overcome
any shortfalls in talent
and luck.
Brooklyn Decker,
model turned actress,
shares
“If my skill and the talent aren’t there yet,
the work ethic is.
And at the beginning,
that’s all you can ask of yourself.
Eventually the skill will come,
but the hard work is something you can control.”*
Focus on the factors you can control.
One of these factors
is hard work.
