　　Personally, I believe that hard work is more important than talent in every line of work. This rule is particularly relevant to the field of art. Here’s why.

　　First, hard work is the key to success. Talented people with little or no practice may achieve nothing. Though children with little or no talent frequently achieve success.

　　Second, anyone can do anything so long as they’re not lazy and jaded. In fact, hard work is a trait that can be ingrained into each and every one of us. To become a consummate public speaker, for instance, all that is required is motivation to practice how to grab the attention of the audience. The same rule applies to any given form of art.

　　這位童鞋認(rèn)為相比于藝術(shù)天賦，還是個(gè)人努力更為重要一些。

　　I think Talent is more important than hard work to be an artist. First,Hard work is a form of natural talent.Tenacity, itself, is believed to be a form of natural talent and is not something that every person is capable of. Having the consistent ability to work hard towards a certain goal, despite all the difficulties, is considered a natural gift. It would be easy to judge talent by a particular work, such as a painting, because it will be more conceivable. Second,talent is essential for success. People are said to be “natural” or “gifted”, and this belief is the foundation of most, if not all, talent scouting programs that aim to recruit children with untapped or raw talents that they can build upon with rigorous preparations and training. The primary reason for this is that natural talent is thought of as a completely essential ingredient of a top performer. Some scouts even believe that without it, one can only go so far.

　　這位童鞋則認(rèn)為努力本身就是一種天賦，而藝術(shù)的天賦比努力更重要。
