Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.


Who originally said this?
I don’t know.
It’s extremely unclear. I think Kevin Durant is the first person to say it and have it recorded that he said it, but there is no way he was the first to say it.

I think it might be like a figure of speech, in that everyone says it but no one really gets the credit for coming up with it.

I first heard it from Tim Tebow, verbally and in his book (page 33 if your curious).
Tim states he adopted it as a mantra while still in Little League and Kevin Durant didn’t say it until 2007 so mathematically Kevin Durant can’t be the first person who said it, because that would mean 6 years ago Tim Tebow would’ve been in Little League and still working out with tubing attached to his door.
Clearly this isn’t the case.
Online I’ve found Tim Notke with credit for this quote but if you google the name it comes up with nothing.
Somewhere it said Sam Lincoln said it, seems like speculation. Who knows?

I’ll I know is it’s extremely motivating.
To me it says: it doesn’t matter you predisposition, you can do whatever you want through hard work.
Granted, that’s not always true, but the sentiment is brilliant anyways.


Keep on trudging beauties.



until next time.
