Message: [QUOTE="LukeSilver, post: 2401403, member: 59099"] I think your missing the point, this isn't negative its very positive in fact. its stating if your not already at the top level possible then you can overcome your opponents, because neither are they and they do have flaws. the whole nurture nature debate is one that has been raging for century's or more. The truth is that no one fully knows. I have seen individuals that depending on the environment can literally range from having an IQ to low to be able to look after themselves in the most basic ways, all the way up to been among the greatest genius in the world. when we come across the dumb blonde we assume that she will never be able to grasp advanced concepts however who knows if they had the education and the right circumstances. I wont deny genetics is a factor and if you don't have the genetics you probably can only go so far. What i do dispute is that anyone can currently look at an individual and know what there capacity is. However one thing is clear if you want to achieve big it will require a lot of effort a huge amount. lots of money is up for grabs to those able and willing. but ill ask you one question have you ever done your best tried your hardest? not just in poker but anything? if you answer yes to that question then I will out right call you a liar, and state until you change your attitude you will never reach the top level in anything. not that your not able, not that you lack the capacity, I cant say that theres no way I could know that, but that you wont because you have the wrong attitude. very few people in the world try there hardest and give it 100%. if youve got exams and you spend 6 hours a day studying you havn't tried your hardest or done your best. despite the fact that would be in excess of the vast majority of students. trying your hardest is giving up everything, really taking the extremes. Michael Jordan (basketball player) and Phil Ivey went to insane levels. working long hours and making huge sacrifices if anyone ever saw Michael Jordan's sick game they would realize why he was the best. to go to that extent to push it when every part of you wants to give up. very few people in the world have that level of devotion. Did you know that Phil ivey used to sleep rough, in order to be able to play poker more. if that doesn't speak volumes about his attitude I don't know what would. the amount of computer software the amount of analysis the amount of people studying the game the books the training videos, everything out there and all the efforts put in. to be top of any activity which has had this much global input is a feat deserving to be recognized as been among the very best that man kind has to offer. if your not willing to make the huge sacrifices and efforts needed to reach the very top, and there are good reasons not to do that, then you will never reach that level. if you truly are willing to make that effort and have that fight in you then I will never tell you, that you cant make it, because you might just be right.
