You wouldn’t believe how I felt.
Throughout my childhood, I was constantly obliged to follow the high standards set by my parents.
I could never fail at a subject at school. I had to always score the highest. I was constantly compared to my peers if I had so much as achieved below their marks.
It was incredibly frustrating at times, to say the least.
I couldn’t take it easy on the subjects I abhorred. I couldn’t find time for entertainment if I had not studied for the day. I would get the heaviest of reprimands if I went home with a score not representative of the image I had set to build for myself, that one of excellence.
People looked at me and saw brilliance, and I would be lying to myself if I didn’t feel proud about it.
Yet, I constantly thought I was nothing special.
Math was always dizzying and unapproachable for more I liked it, yet I remember my peer Carlos winning many awards all throughout the years thanks to his analytical mind.
Biology was a subject that I would rather avoid altogether, yet Ivan could breeze through it without much of a glance, his call for service as a future medic always at the front.
Chemistry made my head hurt, and yet again, Sebastian found merit inside the world of chemical compounds and experiments, places where I could barely grasp such concepts.
你不会相信我的感受。
在我的整个童年，我总是不得不遵循父母制定的高标准。
我在学校从来不会有一门功课不及格。我必须总是得最高分。如果我的成绩比同龄人差那么一点点，我就会被拿来和他们比较。
退一步说，有时候真的很让人沮丧。
在我厌恶的科目上，我不能放松。如果我今天没有学习，我就找不到时间去娱乐。如果我回家时的分数不能代表我为自己树立的卓越形象，那么我将受到最严厉的谴责。
人们看着我，看到了我的才华，如果我不为此感到骄傲，我会对自己撒谎。
然而，我一直认为我没什么特别的。
数学总是让人头晕目眩，我更喜欢它，但我记得我的同龄人卡洛斯由于他的分析能力多年来赢得了许多奖项。
生物学是一门我宁愿完全回避的学科，但伊凡书都不用看，可以轻松过关，他的使命是做一名未来永远在前线的军医。
化学让我头疼，塞巴斯蒂安又一次在化合物和实验的世界里找到了价值，在这些地方我几乎无法理解这些概念。

They excelled at their craft, understood it in levels beyond my own comprehension, and such was the case with many others alike.
Nonetheless, I was the only one who graduated with a GPA of 4.0, first of the class.
I was the one taking care of his notes, approaching the subject in a manner I could understand.
I was the one taking and hour or two each day to review the concepts previously learned in my classes just that morning.
I was the one asking for constant uation and advice on the subjects I dreaded; the less time I could dwell on them, the better.
I was the one anxiously undergoing mini-experiments to understand how my mind worked and how I could study more productively, effectively outsourcing less of my time for more retention of knowledge.
他们擅长自己的科目，对其科目的理解超出了我自己的理解，其他许多人也是如此。
尽管如此，我是唯一一个平均成绩为4.0的毕业生，是班上的第一名。
我是负责记录笔记的人，以我能理解的方式处理这个问题。
我每天花上一两个小时复习那天早上在课堂上学到的概念。
我是那个在我害怕的科目上不断寻求评价和建议的人，我越少时间纠结这些事情，其成绩越来越好。
我是那个焦虑地进行小型实验，以了解我的大脑是如何工作的人，我如何能更高效地学习，更有效地用更少的时间来记住更多的知识。

In other words, I was the one always walking the extra mile.
I’m a profound believer that school and college are not decisive factors in the process of achieving the heights most set for themselves.
Your GPA, at the end of it all, is just a number in a piece of paper. It isn’t a reflection of who you are, nor is it a value that can possibly encompass all your strength and weaknesses.
Yet, I cannot find any type of regret over the amount of work I put in during those years.
Today, I only feel gratitude towards my parents.
They instilled two valuable lessons in me.
One, those who set high standards for themselves are the ones who successfully avoid mediocrity in their lives, whatever the role they decide to fit in.
Two, hard work pays off, no matter the circumstances. It inculcates discipline, gratitude, and a will to always, always, stay persistent in your endeavors until success is achieved.
Do not ever dread to always walk the extra mile. It’s way cooler than taking it easy.
换句话说，我总是多走几步路。
我坚信，在达到为自己设定的高度的过程中，中学和大学并不是决定性的因素。
最后，你的平均成绩只是一张纸上的一个数字。它不能反映你是谁，也不能包含你所有的优点和缺点。
然而，我对那些年付出的努力没有任何遗憾。
今天，我只对我的父母感到感激。
他们给我灌输了两个宝贵的教训。
第一，那些为自己设定高标准的人是那些成功避免平庸生活的人，无论他们决定扮演什么角色。
第二，无论在什么情况下，努力工作都会有回报。它灌输了纪律、感激和永远坚持不懈地努力直到成功的意志。
永远不要害怕多走一英里。这比放松要酷多了。

Let me tell you one rule, which you can follow almost universally.
And the rule is very simple.
Whenever you hear that there is a principle that is believed by most people as RIGHT, you can be sure that the principle is absolutely WRONG.
In other words,
The degree of the falsehood of a statement is directly proportional to its popularity.
It is true that most people believe that hard work beats talent.
Hence, rest assured that hard work can’t beat talent.
If you don’t wish to join the gang of the majority who have lost all their self-confidence and prefer to follow the crowd, then instead of using your hard work to beat talent, do the following.
Use hard work to nurture talent.
Use your talent to beat the hard work.
Let me now explain these two principles in detail.
让我告诉你一条你几乎可以普遍遵循的规则。
规则很简单。
每当你听到有一个原则被大多数人认为是正确的，你可以肯定这个原则是绝对错误的。
换句话说，
一句话的虚假程度与它的受欢迎程度成正比。
诚然，大多数人认为勤奋胜过天才。
因此，请放心，努力工作不能打败天赋。
如果你不想加入那些已经失去自信而喜欢随波逐流的人的行列，那么与其用你的努力去击败天赋，不如这样做。
用功育人
用你的天赋战胜勤奋。
现在让我详细解释这两个原则。

1. Use hard work to nurture talent
Every human being has a talent for something.
In the same way, no human being has a talent for everything.
Let's take the case of Albert Einstein.
Einstein wrote four papers in 1905, on the topics of relativity, Brownian motion, Photoelectric effect and mass-energy equivalence. [1]
All papers were so great that each paper deserved a Nobel Prize.
And he was hardly 26 years of age when he achieved this feat.
Unless you are super dumb and stupid, you don’t need convincing that Einstein was highly talented for this type of work.
It is not to say that he did not work hard.
However, he did not work hard to beat talent but rather worked hard to nurture his talent, which resulted in the creation of such great work for humanity at such a young age.
Imagine that instead of doing scientific research, Einstein had rather chosen to work very very hard to become a great soccer player!.
He would have perhaps been a failed sportsman who led a miserable life.
用功育人
每个人都有做某事的天赋。
同样的道理，没有人拥有无所不能的天赋。
让我们以阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦为例。
爱因斯坦在1905年写了四篇论文，主题是相对论、布朗运动、光电效应和质能等效。
所有的论文都很棒，每一篇论文都应该获得诺贝尔奖。
当他取得这一成就时，他还不到26岁。
除非你是超级愚蠢的，甚至你都不需要去说服别人，别人就相信这一点：爱因斯坦在这方面非常有天赋的。
这并不是说他工作不努力。
然而，他并没有努力打败天赋，而是努力培养自己的天赋，这使得他在如此年轻的时候就为人类创造了如此伟大的成就。
想象一下这个场景：爱因斯坦不是做科学研究，而是选择非常非常努力地工作，成为一名伟大的足球运动员！。
他可能是一个失败的运动员，过着悲惨的生活。

2. Use your talent to beat the hard work
While hard work can’t beat talent, you can use your talent to beat hard work.
As a matter of fact, you can recognise your talent only when you are using it to beat hard work.
If you wish to identify your talent, always try to find out the most efficient way to produce the result.
When you discover that in any particular area, you can produce results with much lesser effort as compared to others, you identify your talent in such an arena.
If you work too hard to succeed in a particular area, that is a sure indication that you lack talent in that area.
Hence, you have to keep experimenting with different things in life, till you find your talent.
Once you discover your talent, work hard to nourish your talent, instead of trying to beat a talent with your hard work.
用你的天赋战胜艰苦的工作
虽然勤奋不能打败天赋，但你可以用你的天赋打败勤奋。
事实上，只有当你用自己的天赋战胜艰苦的工作时，你才能认识到自己的天赋。
如果你想发现自己的天赋所在，一定要找出最有效的方法来产生结果。
当你发现在任何特定领域，与其他领域相比，你可以用更少的努力取得成果时，你就发现了自己的天赋是在这样的领域中。
如果你在某个领域工作非常努力也无法取得成功，这无疑表明你在该领域缺乏天赋。
因此，你必须在生活中不断尝试不同的事情，直到你找到自己的天赋所在。
一旦你发现了你的天赋，就要努力培养你的天赋，而不是试图用你的勤奋打败天赋。

Albert Einstein said this so wisely, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
A fish can never climb a tree however hard it tries since it does not have the talent for climbing a tree.
However, even a lion can’t beat a fish when it comes to swimming inside water.
In the same way, you can’t succeed in any area of life for which you don’t have the desired talent., while in the area of talent, you can zoom through success easily.
The real challenge is to identify your talent since talent is not like the beauty of a person that is visible to the naked eye.
Hence, don’t believe in the stupid popular sayings which are freely available in the marketplace.
Instead, apply your mind to find the truth yourself to lead a happy and successful life.
Now that is the most important talent you have to start developing now.
Wish you all the very best!!!
阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦（Albert Einstein）非常明智地说：“每个人都是天才。但如果你根据一条鱼爬树的能力来判断它，那么它一生都会相信它是愚蠢的。”
鱼无论多么努力都无法爬树，因为它没有爬树的天赋。
然而，在水中游泳时，即使是狮子也比不上鱼。
同样，如果你没有所需的天赋，你就不可能在生活的任何领域取得成功。在天赋所在的领域，你可以轻松放大成功。
真正的挑战是确定你的天赋，因为天赋不像一个人的美丽是肉眼可见的。
因此，不要相信那些在市场上免费提供的愚蠢的流行语。
相反，用心去发现真相，让自己过上幸福成功的生活。
这是你现在必须开始培养的最重要的天赋。
祝你一切顺利！

No. This is just absolute bullshit advice that became popular because it is used heavily to get people off their asses.
Hard work is important. But it doesn’t beat talent. If you want to succeed in today’s world, you need to have both. And I can prove it to you.
Case I
Have you ever seen a person who can’t sing no matter how hard (s)he tries? Of course you have. That’s because they have no talent for singing. If they work hard, they could sing kinda okay but they’ll only ever be mediocre at best. That’s because they don’t have any innate capabilities required to sing. Some people are just tone-deaf or they just don’t have the vocal chords required to be able to sing, and no amount of hard work will fix that. It might work for some people, but there is no guarantee that it will work.
Case II
Now, let’s take an example of a person who has a talent for singing. This guy has always been able to sing well with no training whatsoever. He might lack the intricacies of singing, or the technicalities of mic handling and so forth, but he could overcome it by putting in some work. Not hard work, but just some amount of effort. We often call them god-gifted/extremely talented/effortless. This is what talent is. Talent can produce wonders without hard work.
不。这只是一个非常流行的狗屁建议，因为它被大量用于让人们摆脱困境。
努力工作很重要。但这并不能打败天赋。如果你想在当今世界取得成功，你需要两者兼得，对此我可以向你证明。
案例一
你见过一个人无论多么努力都不能唱歌吗？当然有。那是因为他们没有唱歌的天赋。如果他们努力唱歌，他们是可以唱得不错，但他们最多只能算平庸的。那是因为他们没有任何天生的唱歌能力。有些人只是音盲，或者他们没有唱歌所需的声带，再多的努力也无法解决这个问题。它可能对判定某些人有效，但不能保证一定有效。
案例二
现在，让我们举一个有唱歌天赋的人的例子。这家伙在没有任何训练的情况下总是能唱得很好。他可能缺乏了解歌唱的复杂之处的知识，或者麦克风操作的技术性等等，但他可以通过勤奋来掌握这些知识。不用艰苦的工作，只是稍微用点攻。我们经常称他们为天资聪颖/才华横溢/毫不费力就可以学好，这就是天赋。天才不需要努力就能创造奇迹。

Case III
Now let’s look at a third guy. He is a GREAT singer. People drool over his songs for decades. Is that because he worked hard? Of course. But is it only because he worked hard? No way! This is the kinda guy who has exceptional talent and has worked extremely hard to improve his god-given gift to take his output to a whole new level.
Talent could be anything. It could be musical or artistic talent, or it could be a physical talent, or it could be a social talent or something else or anything in between. Talent is the reason why some people just get something and some people just don’t. Some abilities/inabilities that we’re born with never change. You could call it a hardwiring of a sort. It’s all about discovering your talent (your god-gift/your purpose/your wiring) and channeling it in the right direction.
It’s almost impossible to achieve excellence in something with brute-force hard work. It’s a lot easier to achieve the same when you have the talent for it. And it’s going to be insane if you somehow have both.
In fact, having the ability to work hard is a talent in itself. But you cannot develop talent by working hard.
So if someone tells me hard work always beats talent, I’m going to say they’re full o’ shit.
案例三
现在让我们来看第三个人。他是一位伟大的歌手。几十年来，人们对他的歌曲非常痴情。那是因为他努力唱歌吗？当然，但这仅仅是因为他工作努力吗？不可能是 的！这是一个在歌唱方面有着非凡天赋的人，他非常努力地提高自己的天赋，将自己的产出提升到一个全新的水平。
天赋可以是任何东西。它可以是音乐或艺术天赋，也可以是身体天赋，也可以是社交天赋或其他任何介于两者之间的东西。天赋就是为什么有些人能得到而有些人得不到的原因。有些与生俱来的能力永远不会改变。你可以把它称为某种硬件。这一切都是关于发现你的天赋（你的上帝恩赐/你的目标/你的路线）并将其引导到正确的方向。
通过艰苦的努力，几乎不可能在某些事情上取得卓越的成就。但当你有天赋的时候，实现同样的目标要容易得多。如果你两者都有，那就能让人发狂了。
事实上，有能力努力工作本身就是一种天赋。但是你不能通过努力工作来培养天赋。
所以，如果有人告诉我努力工作总是胜过天赋，我要说他们都是狗屎言论。

JetBrains
There are some ways to do that. You can find instructions online on how it can be achieved, or you can download a piece of JetBrains software packaged with a “crack” or some other modification of a genuine version. However, options like this pose several risks:
The first thing to consider are the legal consequences. If you use a counterfeit or cracked version at work, it may interfere with your employer’s copyright policy, which could lead to termination and/or criminal liability.
There might be some unwanted side effects as well, like slower execution, higher memory consumption, or unexpected crashes.
Finally, because cracked versions come with a third-party modification under the hood, you may expect to have to deal with unwanted additional workload, such as participating in botnets or cryptocurrency mining. In addition, cracked versions can introduce viruses to your system.
Given all that, it’s much safer to use genuine JetBrains software. There are several ways to get access to genuine versions with minimal or even no expense at all:
Take advantage of special offers. There are a number of special offers you can apply for to get a discount for JetBrains software or to use it for free. You can find out more about them here. There are offers for open source projects and students.
Participate in the Early Access Program. The EAP provides access to pre-release builds of JetBrains products. It lets you try the latest features and improvements for free. Just like releases, the EAP happens three times a year. You can learn more about it here.
Try a monthly subscxtion first. If your trial is coming to its end but you still need some time to explore the product, you can try purchasing a monthly subscxtion for it. For individuals, the prices are cheaper than for companies. For example, an individual WebStorm subscxtion costs as little as a few US dollars a month. You can always cancel the subscxtion at any time.
Get a yearly subscxtion at a cheaper price. If you are getting a lot of use out of the product and are ready to extend your subscxtion, you could get a yearly subscxtion. It comes with a discount, so you’ll get two months for free. What’s more, the price goes down in the 2nd and 3rd years.
Use the Community Edition IDEs. Two of JetBrains IDEs, IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm, have free, open-source editions. Check if they work for you and if they do, you can keep using them without paying anything.
有一些方法可以做到这一点。你可以在网上找到如何实现它的说明，也可以下载一款JetBrains软件，该软件带有“破解”或对正版软件进行其他修改。然而，这样的选择带来了一些风险：
首先要考虑的是法律后果。如果你在工作中使用假冒或破解版本，可能会干扰你雇主的版权政策，这可能导致终止合同和/或刑事责任。
也可能存在一些不必要的副作用，如执行速度较慢、内存消耗较高或导致电脑意外崩溃。
最后，由于破解版本附带第三方修改，你可能需要处理不必要的额外工作，例如参与僵尸网络或加密货币挖掘。此外，破解版本可能会将病毒引入你的系统。
考虑到所有这些，使用正版JetBrains软件要安全得多。有几种方法可以以最低甚至完全免费的成本获得正版版本：
利用特别优惠。你可以申请一些特惠，以获得JetBrains软件的折扣或免费使用。你可以在这里找到更多关于他们的信息，有针对开源项目和学生的优惠。
参与早期访问计划。员工帮助计划 提供对JetBrains产品预发布版本的访问。它可以让你免费试用最新的功能和改进。就像发布一样，每年推行三次员工帮助计划 ，你可以在这里了解更多。
先尝试每月订阅一次。如果你的试用期即将结束，但你仍然需要一些时间来探索该产品，你可以尝试每月购买一次。对于个人来说，个人订阅价格比公司去订阅要便宜。例如，WebStorm的个人订阅费用仅为每月几美元，你可以随时取消订阅。
以较低的价格获得年度订阅。如果你正在大量使用该产品，并准备延长订阅期，你可以每年订阅一次，对此它有折扣，所以你可以免费得到两个月。此外，价格在第二年和第三年下降。
使用社区版集成开发环境。JetBrains的两个IDE IntelliJ IDEA和PyCharm都有免费的开源版本。检查你是否可以利用它们，如果可以利用它们，你可以继续使用它们而不必支付任何费用。

“Average students become better teachers than expectionally intelligent students.”
These were wordings of one of my teachers. This statement seemed weird when I first heard it, but with time I have found it to be true.
An average student has to struggle more to understand something than an exceptionally intelligent student. Once the concept is clear even an average student knows a topic as well as an intelligent student.
Such a teacher can understand the struggle of a weak student in studies. This teacher knows it's not easy to understand the topic and is so more helpful towards student, making them a good teacher.
This applies in every field. If someone is not talented but acquires it with hard work, they understand it's value more.
Hard work certainly beats talent as the talent acquired by hard work would keep the talented person grounded. Such a person won't boast of being talented. They would use their talent wisely.
“一般的学生比期望中的聪明的学生成为更好的老师。”
这是我的一位老师所说的话。当我第一次听到这句话时，它看起来很奇怪，但随着时间的推移，我发现它是真的。
一个普通的学生要比一个非常聪明的学生更难理解一些东西。不过一旦概念清晰，即使是一个普通的学生也能像一个聪明的学生一样了解一个主题。
这样的老师能够理解一个学习方面有困难的学生在学习中的挣扎出境。这位老师知道这个主题不容易理解，所以对学生更有帮助，从而使他们成为一名好老师。
这适用于每个领域。如果有人没有天赋，但通过努力工作获得了天赋，他们会更了解它的价值。
努力工作一定会打败天赋，因为通过努力工作获得的天赋能力会使其天赋能力基础扎实。这样的人不会夸耀自己有天赋，反而他们会明智地运用自己的才能。

I have read a lot of bullshit answers about hard work beating being talented and vice versa and provide examples to back up either answer.
The truth lies somewhere in the middle.
If you are talented, but never showboat your talents to the right people, you won't get anywhere.
If you work hard, but never show it to the right people, you won't get anywhere.
Plus, the factor, in the right place at the right moment, should not be underestimated. If Messi was born in the year 326, would he have had the success he had today?
Questions like the above are irrelevant. It boils down to you wanting to have success. And you can only achieve that by trying, regardless of talent. And if you have the drive, the passion, you might get that success. If you have talent, you might get that success a bit quicker but again, right time right place. And that is difficult to time accurately.
Ultimately it's all maths. You expand your chances by trying over and over again. You don't try you lose, regardless how hard you would have worked or how talented you were.
我读过很多关于努力工作胜过天赋之类胡说八道的答案，反之亦然，并提供了支持这两个答案的例子。
真相就在在中间。
如果你很有天赋，但从不向合适的人展示你的天赋，你将一事无成。
如果你努力工作，但从不向正确的人展示，你将一事无成。
此外，在正确的时间、正确的地点，不应低估这一因素。如果梅西出生在326年，他会获得今天这样的成功吗？
上述问题无关紧要。归根结底是你想要成功。你只有通过努力才能做到这一点，而不管你的天赋如何。如果你有动力，有激情，你可能会成功。如果你有天赋，你可能会更快地获得成功，但同样，要在正确的时间和地点，这就很难精确具体时间了。
归根结底，这都是数学问题。你通过一次又一次的尝试来扩大你的机会。不管你有多努力，也不管你是多天才，你都不会试图让自己失败。
