Does Great Achievement come from Talent or Training? Is it a Gift or something we Earn with motivational ability – with ‘Motivational Intelligence’?

In case you are interested in this topic, here are two good books.  Both of these authors talk about how inherited talent is valuable, but that even in-born talent must be developed.  They show how most true greats in their field, developed their talent through approaches that anyone with great motivation can use and, thereby, build great ability.  We must practice to build capability in any skill – even to develop motivational skills.  They also talk about ‘how to practice’ and often refer to the ability to focus your motivation.  Fascinating stuff for anyone who is committed to growth and personal improvement.
