do you think some ppl dont have to try so hard in school and still get good marks, while others have to work very hard and study and just get ok marks. do you guys think its just plain hard work or is it just skill n talent comes into play too.

 

. is it just laziness that he didnt want to study hard to become a doctor, engineer, or was it just he lacked the aptitude , skill and not smart enough/learning disabitly in certain areas that stopped him/her from being a engineer or accountant, computer programmer so he had to become a chef, or bus driver

 

you think some ppl are just lazy in why they do the jobs they do-bus driver, construction worker, chef, pastry chef, baker or do you think they just lacked the skill n talent and brain power or had learning disabilty as to why they didnt become a engineer or accountant, computer programmer

 

a career counsellor told us that one also has to have the aptitude to do that job.

Your attitude bugs me. What makes someone lazy just because they choose a trade over something you would have to go to university for? You may not mean for it to come across this way, but it's how I'm interpreting your post.

 

And to answer your question, I think natural ability in the area gives you a headstart, definitely. But that can only go so far. You also need hard work to keep going and not be left in the dust. If you are hard working with an interest in the field, but lack the natural ability, it would for sure be harder. You could eventually become competent but it's hard to say whether or not you could end up being extremely good at it.

 

In the end, to be really good at something, I think you need to work hard, have some sort of aptitude for it, and also the desire.

ok how bout the ppl who actually study and work hard ,but still dont do good in school like C average and cant enter a univeristy ,but they study and go to class and do their homework. they just dont do good in school periodddd.

 

can you really just try and work hard. i mean can a Luke Walton(lakers ball player") even if he worked hard be as good as a Kobe Bryant and score like 40 pts per game or more. hmmm maybe on some odd days but i doubt it. isnt it just natural skill. you cant teach a Ryan Kesler(Canucks hockey player) to be like a Sidney Crosby. its either you have the talent or you dont

Not everyone is born equal. Some people are naturally gifted artists or writers, some are good at mathematics or science, some are good at sports, etc. People have different IQs, and smarter people find academic study easier. People tend to do best at whatever it is they have a natural aptitude for.
