You need to remember every moment, my little friend, that perseverance and hard work will beat untrained talent and lazy geniality every time. Every damn time!
Talent is not an excuse to work less, but a duty to train even more. Talent means that you can access virtuosity, one step further than mastery. Mastery is for common people. But not using your skill will make you a novice.
Got my first company at 16, more than 20 years ago. Just a market stall, but still paid all my university expenses. Accountant for 10 years, then, one day i felt enough is enough, and i left everything. Changed countries, start working in healthcare, 6 years from now, advanced from NVQ 1 to 5. Meanwhile i studied yoga for more than 20 years, learn few languages, studied finances and economy trends, become an angel investor on small scale, start to learn about start-ups, shares, bonds, real estate and other boring stuff. Aiming for Tim Ferris four hour workweek, but I'm not quite there. Training towards a life coach, therapist and motivational speaker career. And all that when I'm still travelling around the world, going to any seminar or movie I'm interested to see, being in a meaningful relation and doing exercises few times a week. In my peak state i am an unstoppable genius, in my lowest I'm just a lazy guy who like to watch Game of Thrones or play LoL / HoS / Hearthstone. Average person with amazing skills in a crisis situation. Have driving licence but do not like to drive. Anything except maybe an ATV. Still need to learn Chinese, jump with parachute and play an instrument.
