The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle is a fascinating read about how hard work creates talent, for anyone interested in that kinda thing. Great post, Jon!

Before the recent recession/depression, it felt like it was becoming a personality disorder in many people's eyes if you worked a lot. I think that's because the great majority of people (>99%?) aren't doing something that they enjoy, and are passionate about. Or, they don't like the people who they work with. Or, they're not taking risks (with appropriate rewards).

The economic downturn has changed that, albeit slightly, I think. That's most evident in that more people are feeling less entitled, and more appreciative of their jobs. So, while it hasn't spawned a workaholic workforce, it's at least made it a bit less difficult on those of us who really enjoy what we're doing.

I really enjoyed this post -- I've felt like I've lost a little of the killer instinct/work stamina of late -- this reminds me why I've been so fortunate in the past. That hard work pays off in invisible ways.

Onward!

Very true Orin. As Edison put it:

Though one does wonder if all the time that Tiger said he was practicing on the range were actually allocated to that activity (he clearly has amazing time management skills).

I think the overall point you are trying to make is that persistence pays off. I'm not sure that is *always* pays off, but my maternal Grandmother was fond of saying that an "ounce of determination is worth a ton of brains" (although that could also have been rural anti-intellectualism).

Perhaps best to say that most successful people are dedicated and persistent, but that not all dedicated and persistent people are successful.

Kanye West hasn't been a choir boy of late, either. But great choices, and we can certainly learn from each. Jon, you have me spending a bundle at Amazon.com buying books about people you blog about. Thanks for the inspiration.

Good article here on Richard Branson. Probably should have included him.
