Some people claim that discipline ensures success while others are convinced that talent is the cornerstone of any achievement. Talent often plays a key role in progress making. But does your career success only depend on your gifts?
Personally, I believe that it is more important to be disciplined than talented. Firstly, persevering people succeed more often than talented idlers. You can be slow to learn, but showing great perseverance you will be able to attain your objectives while a lazy genius fails to achieve anything. Secondly, a disciplined person can organize his work well, which is significant for success and career growth. Thirdly, one is required to be responsible, reliable and efficient in any occupation. The ability of doing a job in good time is appreciated by any employer and gives you a chance to provide job promotion.
However, some people say that those who do not have talent will hardly get to the top. They can only follow the pattern and are incapable of producing new ideas. Moreover, one needs a natural talent for being a poet or an artist, for example, otherwise one is expected to fail.
I disagree with this opinion because it is impossible to create true masterpiece without hard work, diligence and self-control. Besides, there are people who do not dazzle with talent, but they have made successful career and done well out of it.
To conclude, discipline is the mother of success. If you persevere with your work, you will succeed in the end. Everyone who wants to gain a high position in his job needs to learn to discipline oneself.
