The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me. But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things: you're getting off first, or I'm going to die. The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours of beating on your craft. There's no shortcut to self-discipline. There's no hack. You have to lay brick by brick.

Traducao (Portugues)

A única coisa que vejo de diferente em mim é que não tenho medo de morrer numa esteira. Você pode ter mais talento que eu, pode ser mais inteligente. Mas se subirmos numa esteira juntos, há duas opções: você sai primeiro ou eu vou morrer. A separação entre talento e habilidade é um dos conceitos mais mal entendidos. Talento você tem naturalmente. Habilidade só se desenvolve com horas e horas de prática. Não existe atalho para autodisciplina. Não existe hack. Você tem que colocar tijolo por tijolo.
