Talent will only carry you so far

By far the biggest misconception is that if one is talented enough, good things will find their way. However, if the good things aren't backed up by the drive and strive to excel, the motivation to work hard and hustle, all that talent is worth just as much as someone with much lesser talent but is willing to go the extra mile.

In a world where competition is at such an extreme skill, you can't afford to underestimate others, and over estimate yourself.

Hubris as they say, is the fatal flaw of all humans.
