People who have real, demonstrable talent have got it made in this world! Everyone knows that a person with real capability doesn’t have to work a day for what the rest of us have to slave all our lives for!

Recently, entrepreneurs were evaluated by their talents and abilities concerning the success or failure of their business ventures after one year.

People with natural abilities don’t have to practice to succeed. This reminds me of my friend Franky; he could play guitar just like Eddie Van Halen, and he never practiced!

Answer 1

The statement that is fair, focused, and complex is:

"A research psychologist recently published a case study showing that natural talent combined with consistent effort produces measurably higher success rates."

This statement is fair because it presents a balanced view of the relationship between natural talent and hard work, rather than dismissing one in favor of the other. It is focused because it clearly states the connection being investigated (natural talent, effort, and success). Finally, it is complex because it acknowledges that both natural talent and effort can interplay to influence success rather than attributing success solely to one factor.
