Gift or Grind? - Why The Best Consider The Term "Gifted" To Be An Insult

"The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it." - Wayne Gretzky

When he was asked if his talent was a gift from above hockey's greatest player Wayne Gretzky responded by saying: "My talent was Wally Given". He was referring to the coaching he received from his dad, and to the countless hours they spent perfecting his game on the rink in their backyard in Brampton, Ontario. Becoming great at anything requires far more hard work, blood, sweat and tears than it does luck. Many who've made it to the top refer to the process of becoming elite as "The Grind." They seem to more prideful of their ability to Grind than they are of the actual successes brought about by the Grind.
