Keith Urban on Being Unstoppable July 01, 2016 by Miles Kimball “Talent and gift is very much like running water–and when it hits something, it just goes around it and keeps on flowing.” — Keith Urban, on “American Idol.” To me this is a description not of talent, but of grit, which is a wellspring of both talent and success. I wrote about grit in “Visionary Grit.”
