It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance for sport or music, and others are not. However, it is sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good sports person or musician.

There is a saying in my language: everybody is gifted, but some people never open their package. The majority of people believe that everyone has special talent that suits to the particular sphere of life. At the same time, there are people who say that good sportsmen and musicians are made, not born. Personally, it is my strong belief that the most respectful and dignified people of all time achieved fame thanks for their hard-working, desire and ambitiousness.
To begin with, environment often is more important than talent, because it is the primary factor of the formation of everybody's outlook and consciousness. For example, both western and eastern renaissance were at peaceful times, in other words no science can be developed at a war times. In this sense, even though there were talents at that time, environment didn't let them prosper.
Further and even more importantly, talents are discovered during hard-working. According to statistics, more than 50% of all self-realized people avoided a lot of life joys and worked very hard. For example, Margaret Thatcher was so determined that she got used to sleep just 4-6 hours in a day. As a result, she succeed and achieved fame and respect.
Given these evidences, it can be said that the importance of environment and desire outweigh any endowment, because no talent can exist without them.
