The conclusions of the meeting will certainly help the audience identify the main obstacles that prevent them from achieving their goals. And face them!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9226 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oliviacentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/swps_drb.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"573\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><sup>Fig. We Love Foto, welovephoto.pl <\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore&#8230;. Which is more important in achieving success: talent or effort? When asked this question, Americans are almost twice as likely to say effort. However, when we look at their true attitudes, it turns out that they rate talented people higher. And that&#8217;s even when they&#8217;ve achieved the same level of success as the people who have had to work hard to earn it. Psychology professor <strong>Chia-Jung Tsay<\/strong> , who was the first to study this phenomenon, called it the cognitive bias of naturalness. It&#8217;s an implicit bias against people who have achieved success because they&#8217;ve worked hard for it, and an implicit preference for people who we think are in a place because they&#8217;re naturally talented. People mostly deny cognitive biases. This is not surprising. If it were otherwise, psychologists wouldn&#8217;t call them mistakes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For years, we have been trying to understand what successful people have in common. We love talent, secretly, but it&#8217;s hard for us to admit it&#8230; To broaden our knowledge on this topic, it is worth reaching for the works of psychologists such as <strong>Angela Duckworth, Carol Dweck, Jim Flynn or Anders Ericsson.<\/strong> It is thanks to their work that we can consider whether achieving success depends on talent and intelligence, or rather on passion and perseverance.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9233 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oliviacentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DrKBocian.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"385\"><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/oliviabusinesscentre\/photos\/?tab=album&amp;album_id=1626809534070627\">See the full photo report from the meeting on our Facebook profile!<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Talent is a matter of luck.
