Can Hard-Work beats Talent?
Can Hard-Work beats Talent?

talent is achieved through work (and more or less random events in your past). the natural born disposition towards a certain field of activity is minimal. but either way, someone who already got talent has of course a large advantage over someone who doesnt and it will be extremely difficult for a hard worker to beat talent, especially if that talent actually polishes its talent.

It really depends on what field you're talking about in relation to the mentioned talent and hard-work.
In any field that requires abnormal amounts of physical strength or ability, then, of course, hard-work will beat talent any day. No amount of talent will allow you to magically conjure up more muscles (unless you're taking steroids which is just plain unfair).
However, in intellectual fields where no experience is actually required to be able to solve new and interesting problems, then I say that talent beats hard-work since no amount of raw work will help you to understand something that is simply beyond you. No amount of studying will magically poof up the solution to a problem that has never been faced before. It requires the talent to use your knowledge in new and intriguing ways to actually solve complex problems.
From personal experience, I find that talent always beats hard-work assuming the talented person puts in at least an average amount of work and the hard-worker has at least an average amount of talent. This is because hard-workers can generally only go as far as they are shown. They break little new ground and only endlessly seek to perfect what they know whereas persons with talent constantly figure out new ways of doing things better.
The real burn comes from how little time it takes the talented person to do their thing in comparison to the hard-worker. This means the talented person can have a better life outside of their field in comparison to the hard-worker, who has only their field.
Voted no since most things are intellectual these days.

if you are talking about athletics, it is rare for someone with no talent to beat someone with a lot of talent. I have a lot of talent, but i never work at it, which is wrong.

Are we assuming that the person who's hard working has little talent in the concerning field, and that the person who's naturally talented doesn't work at all?
It's situational, but for the greater part, I think talent will beat hard work. Take for example, someone with eidetic memory taking an exam against someone who doesn't have eidetic memory and instead studied six hours a day for the past week for the exam. The person with the eidetic memory will get a 100% because it's just how he was programmed, and the person who worked his ass off is going to make a mistake/forget something simply because his brain didn't have the mental capabilities to do what someone with eidetic memory can.
Sports is also a good example. In basketball, if two players have the same skill set, work as hard as you can, but if you're 5'7, you're not gonna beat someone who's 6'2.
I might have gone off topic; I didn't read the other posts and don't know what the definition of talent was for this discussion. I just took it as not having to put in a significant amount of time to be proficient at a given field. If I was way off, I'm sorry >.<

Well lets see this in a break dancing form(because i took up bboying) i never had the natural music beat in me, and worked for 2 years now on my skills, while my friend has raw talent, lets just say he does the same thing over and over and i never see him do anything anymore, while i see myself from scared to show any moves, to excited lets go in and have fun and show what our fruits of labor will show.
