except it doesn't really work like that
RoboticSheep
The creater seriously needs to stfu.

As someone who worked damn hard to play an instrument for years, it's ridiculous when people talk about talent.
fourptsixx
I can smoke weed with the best of them. Unfortunately I live in Kansas.
Afterwalker
Innate talent, in most cases, is a myth.
WelcomeToTheShatterdome
Pretty sure pooping for hours is my talent.
theelvesoflothlorien
You may need to see a doctor about that.
OldMango
talent is pursuit interest.
heodaubu
you forgot the "asskisser"
TheCellistVirtuoso
I realize this is just a webcomic and it's meant to be fun, but this really isnt true, even if youre naturally talented, getting good at 1/2
TheCellistVirtuoso
Something takes an incredible amount of work, it just might not take as long to reach a certain level with talent 2/2

Talent cloud is great until you realize what you want is higher than it'll take you. Then life smacks you in the jaw.
CreepiestThingIveSeenAllWeek
It's pretty difficult to build a tower of work on a cloud of talent.
thezookeeper
Yep. Former talented kid here. I never learned hard work and I didn't get very far with it.
RenderThyme
It's not too late.
EvilWillYT
The fun part about the talent cloud is that unless you also add hard work after 20 years it goes poof and you fall to your death.

Talent only takes you so far, like maybe halfway. The talent cloud should be lower than this guy.
SlimGrimDim
As Bob Ross told me "Talent is a pursued interest, you can do anything you set your mind to."
NivalisAngelus
If I remember, the talent cloud spell will be removed after taking a damaging hit.
TheMightyMoto
I am sure I have talent. Just not in the things I wish it was in.
cheeseburgersmakemehorny
I can just keep eating and eating forever and never have it fill me up
nerdguy99
I'm talented in breathing, raising my hand, and blinking. Nothing else
Moriarty
Talent is pursued interest. If you work at it, you will gain talent.
CherryEmpress
Yeah in my 30 years I still haven't found the thing I'm inherently talented in, but I'm confident it exists.
myr14d
Or you have talent in doing something that's not technologically available until after you die.
aCannabiscompanyfutureEmployee
You can build talent and skill, by a simpler thing called habit... your brain is stupider than it seems.
blackbenetavo
Generally speaking, "talent" means something that can't be taught (or learned).
questionableanswers
Talent is great aptitude. Habits are routines, they take lots of work and dedication to even reach the level of an untrained talented person
aCannabiscompanyfutureEmployee
I never said habits are easy.. just saying they can be very powerful.. and somewhat make up for talent. It can reveal untapped potential...
tsunayou
if I had motivation I could do stuff.
TheMightyMoto
U and me both buddy.

I wish I had self discipline.
WhatsTheMatterWithTheseScissors
Motivation can fail you, dicipline will not.
pengwings
As a depressed person with avoidance issues, lemme tell u, I'd settle for either
PaintedSlate
Self-discipline is just a judgment-laden abstraction of the general motivation to do things for future benefits.
PaintedSlate
It's equally developed from experience and propensities, and it's made of the same stuff. It should be valued, but it's an effect.
manmanmam101
Its motivation that brings you to be able to achieve that level of self discipline

Hard work is what you do. Motivation is what causes you to do it.

manmanmam101
I say this because I literally have no motivation to do anything in my life right now and tbh I couldnt care abt grades and I might fail
manmanmam101
I have no motivation to live either (no motivation to kill myself either so woohoo) and in general my life is pretty shitty even though 2/?
manmanmam101
Even though im not that poor or whatnot. Off topic. I have no motivation to achieve self discipline so I cant really get much done

Original Show then going to the Movie.

Bullshit. "Talent" is just a term applied to other people. Because you don't see them working hard, you assume they never had to.
TGWeaver
Seriously, fuck that.
TGWeaver
Frankly I thought a guy like Owlturd's artist, who feels his work is constantly undermined, would be less shitty about the idea of "talent".
User80085
If you measure the jump height of a bunch of untrained people, someone will jump the highest. That's natural talent.
TGWeaver
That's not talent, that's physical, biological ability. Are you suggesting artistic ability is determined by genes?
User80085
They could have steadier hands, more fluid movements, better fine motor skills, better spatial awareness.
User80085
I'm not saying it's all genetics. People aren't created equal though.
tsjamiefrench18
Every human thing is determined by genes. More neural connections means more "talent". Thank your parents if you have 'em.
TGWeaver
That's an incredibly inaccurate blanket statement.
CrazyGuyOnABike
That said, there is definitely an element of innate talent to things. There's a reason some people are great pianists and some are great
CrazyGuyOnABike
gymnasts, and I'm willing to bet that any pianist who put as much time into gymnastics as they put into piano would still be better at music
TGWeaver
What do you even base a statement like that on? "They did piano first so that must be their true calling"?
CrazyGuyOnABike
If they're like most people, they tried a lot of things when they were young and found one they had talent for.
Moriarty
Talent is persued interest. If you don't put the work in, whatever potential you might have had is worth sod all.
