This question seems to be incomplete. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

In his book How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character, Paul Tough uses James Black's story as an example of how although having good cognitive abilities is necessary,  hard work and proper education is much more important to turn intelligence into academic success.  

Explanation:

James´amazing talent at playing chess, which usually indicates a high intelligence, didn´t match his academic results despite his teacher´s efforts. According to Tough, James´main obstacle was the deficiency of his education throughout his life, and not a lack of resolution or intellectual capacity. Furthermore, he praises Elizabeth Spiegel, James´teacher, for her efforts to get the kid to get better academic achievements, and claims that it´s teachers like her who actually understand educational needs and the importance of helping students develop their own intellectual abilities.

Depending on other country is always harmful debate​

My view. When a country depends on another, it cannot have an independent course of action. Though Taiwan is not a country (according to the UN and most countries), Over 60% of her GDP depends on trade with China. It is moot at this point, whether she wants independence or not, she is already a part of China by anyone’s pragmatic definition. South Korea is also stuck. Maybe not as much, but stuck. South Korea’s major trading partner is China and her security partner is the US. As the US and China get more and more distant from one another, South Korea has to tread water very carefully, not wanting to aggravate either side. Unfortunately, what is evolving is like the ‘cold war’. The US and US allies pitted against Russia/China allies. Most countries are caught in the middle. Their economic fate might be decided by which side they choose. Most want to be neutral but independent in action.
