This research paper: (5 pp.) According to Smith (1997), it was John Irving's high-school wrestling coach, Ted Seabrooke, who broke the news to him, that "talent is overrated. That you're not very talented, needn't be the end of it." Seabrooke also told him: "An underdog is in a position to take a healthy bite." And Irving, who counted himself neither a born athlete nor a born writer - he was dyslexic before that particular learning disability had been identified by name - took Seabrooke's, words as a kind of mantra. Irving chose to be inspired by being told that he didn't have much talent. His thought became, I may not have it right now -but I will. How this author displays his "worked for" talent, will be discussed in light of his 1994 novel Cider House Rules. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
