Concerning the Dray vs Anbesol debate,

Everything else being equal, there's no question in my mind that people are not born with the same abilities. We're all different, whether in personality, physical ability, or specific talents. Yes, someone can work their tale off and achieve most anything, but they haven't yet been able to teach creativity, to learn perfect pitch, or what not.

At the same time, there's many examples of folks with barrels of talent throwing it all away via lack of work ethic. What do the coaches say about what it takes to be a great athlete - a little bit of talent, and a lot of hard work?
