    I disagree, with the exception that some learn faster (which isn’t “prodigy”).

    Even the masters spent years, even decades training before creating their masterpieces. They copied, they failed, but above all, they worked hard for years to become good.

      Of course the masters worked hard. I’m saying that no matter how hard you work, you aren’t going to become Mozart or Einstein. Hard work is important, but it also isn’t the only factor.

        You ain’t gonna be Mozart or Einstein with that attitude! 😉

        Sure, but people have to work for it, there are no shortcuts.
