I hate when people say you were born with talent.
I didn't fly out of the womb with a tiny pencil in my hand. I mean, that would have been cool, albeit dangerous, but no, I was born without the pencil.
I had to spend years and years practicing to get where I am and I still have a lot to learn!
Jan 28, 2025 00:39Talent means you were born with a certain type of bodily and cognitive intelligence which predisposes you to be skilled at that thing. That absolutely exists. The hard work solidifies the existing baseline.
I could work real hard at sports but I’ll still never be a pro athlete.
