Natural talent is like an athlete's strength. You can be born with more or less ability, but nobody can become an athlete just because she or he was born tall, or strong, or fast. What makes the athlete, or the artist, is the work, the vocation and the technique. The intelligence you are born with is just an ammunition. To achieve something with it, you need to transform your mind into a high-precision weapon.
