The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel ,who have dreams ,who want to do things

Talent you have naturally

Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft

I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented

And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening ,work ethic

You know, while the other guy's sleeping ,I'm working

While the other guy's eating ,I'm working

There is no easy way around it

No matter how talented you are ,your talent is going to fail you if you are not skilled

If you don't study ,work really hard and dedicate yourself to getting better every single day .

You'll never be able to communicate your artistry to people the way that you want.

The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is that I am not afraid to die on a treadmill

You might have more talent than me , you might be smarter than me, but if we get on a treadmill together , there are two things

You are getting off first or I am gonna die

It's really that simple
