Hard workers or the Gifted? What do you respect more?

For example, a special ed kid with dyslexia that worked hard for straight As or someone failing school but has an iq of 149 and knows things on the college levels? 
 
Or... 
 
A person that worked hard to earn alot of money or being borned into royalty or a rich family? 
 
Or... 
 
A person that worked hard to become an actor/actress or ones that become it because of their looks? 
 
What do you respect more? What is better for todays society?  
 
Note: I already know the answer, I just want to hear peoples opinions.

Going by your examples. hard workers by far.

                   

Gifted, because the hard workers will never be as good as them no matter how hard they try...oh wait...did I just say that out loud?

<---------Gifted

It depends on the person. I am not going to respect someone less before he was born rich for example. He didn't steal those money and can do a lot of good with them. There are also a lot of people born into rich families that are hard workers.

I'm gifted in some areas and work hard in others, I show people respect that show me it in return. Everyone else can go hang.

Why do these groups deserve respect?

Not skilled, but learned. Not given but earned.

So if your friends struggle with school because they don't have your level of intelligence, does that automatically make you better than them? And no, I'm not talking about societywise pertaining to this comment. I'm also gifted. However, my friend has 100 iq but she works very hard to graduate high school whereas I slacked my way through and easily passed tests while she worked her ass off. Does this make me better than her? No. This made me respect her more.

I don't have friends, my superiority tends to make people afraid

I struggled more in school then most people I knew and it had nothing to do with intelligence, I didn't really know many people who were lacking in natural talent AND hard workers...at my high school all the hard workers were actual intelligent people (though you could infer there intelligence was gained through hard work and not natural)

                   

               

hard workers in about every aspect gets my respect.

Honestly, I ain't never met a "gifted" person in life who didn't put in hard work.

Depends what the person is gifted in...

hard workers ........................................ without this i would be living hard

It depends on the person. I am not going to respect someone less before he was born rich for example. He didn't steal those money and can do a lot of good with them. There are also a lot of people born into rich families that are hard workers.

hard work...gifted means nothing I go to a gifted school and I have hardly and respect for the people here....

eh..I respect anyone that uses what they have to make a positive influence in the world.

I respect hard work more, but to be honest i wish i was gifted as well. Would make my life a lot easier. 
 
I remember in university that most of my classmates had a really easy time studying, reading through the book a couple of times, studying cliff notes and they got it. I had to begin studying weeks in advance to just barely pass it while my classmate got A's with barely any effort. However, when I did finally get my degree i was very proud (being the only one in my direct family to get a degree) While the others were like 'oh cool'. So like others said, you just feel better when you put in the hard work and succeed.

QFT..  you will value something more when you earn it through hard work than just being handed it to you.. 

Gifted or hard worker, it doesn't matter. We're all going to die.

Most people despite the talent they have or resources handed to them, still have to work hard in one way or another to do what they want in life, much less to keep what they 
have so it's really hard to even say.

I ain't got time to bleed. 
 
<-----Hard worker.............most of the time. 

depends on  the person.
