I’ve been reading this book recently and it resonates with me. Of all the things I have done in life I have maintained most wasn’t talent, just hard work and lots of practice; but maybe that is how you acquire talent? I’m learning to play the piano at the moment. I’m rubbish, but getting more ‘talented’ everyday.<\/p>\n

If your desire is strong enough you can achieve many wonderful things. Having worked up from an very ordinary background, I firmly believe that this is true.\u00a0 If you want an insight into how many different types of people have become successful, have a read of Bounce. A good book.<\/p>\n
