These competitors represent some of the hardest working kids in the country and they're already hard at work in the training hall:



Nietzsche once said, "Do not talk about giftedness, inborn talents!  One can name great men of all kinds were very little gifted.  They acquired greatness, became "geniuses" (as we put it), through qualities the lack of which no one who knew what they were would boast of: they all possessed that seriousness of the efficient workman which first learns to construct the parts properly before it ventures to fashion a great whole; they allowed themselves time for it, because they took more pleasure in making the little, secondary things well than in the effect of a dazzling whole."
