Can someone rate my essay as well please?

The question is:

Motivation will always beat mere talent

When the going gets hard how easy is it to give up? The answer is to easy. It is our self motivation and persistence that enables us to conquer and reach our full potential. Talent alone can only get us so far and it is up to ourself to push past that barrier and achieve greater things.

Motivation is the energy to get from point A to point B, and talent is knowing the route. Gymnastics was always something I was passionate about. Training caused me to devote my childhood to the sport, and it was pure motivation that allowed me to grow up and become Ohio State Champion and later on Brisitsh Vault Champion. I would say I had a natural talent in the sport, however motivation allowed me to overcome my FEARs (False Evidence Against Reality) and become the champion I dreamed of being since 1 was four.

Maslow also was a man who believed that motivation can get us further in life. He believed that one thrives towards reaching self actualization in one’s lifetime. Our whole purpose is to push past the barriers and become the absolute best we can be. Therefore Maslow devised a Hierachy suggesting that in order to reach ones full potential they must be successful in each stage of the pyramid.

Like Maslow many people are motivated to be the best person of themselves. It may not be easy. There is aways going to be an uphill battle, but once you get there: The view is great.
