Some people think that you either have a talent or you don't, that you were either born with it or you weren't. Well I think that's only partly true. I think that talents require work to get them blossoming. Likewise, if you weren't "born with it", you can still work at it and develop it.

Things become easier and come to us more readily when we actually put some effort into them, when we take the time and effort to practice them. It's the same with almost anything.
