Resilience beats talent 100% of the time.

Absolutely. Some of the best engineers I have hired have been of modest talent but had tons of grit. They run circles around their more talented but aimless peers.

And if you have both talent and resilience, you’ve got a proper superpower.

That's a theme you see in the old Zen cartoons.

It ain't talent or education. It's perseverance.
