There's another book to read titled "Outliers". It speaks of the skills of the Beatles, Bill Gates, and other "Greats" in their field. It's all about practice and exposure. In ...

Still....I suggest reading the book. It's pretty specific on how to practice and improve. Could be that the "talented" just do a better job of practicing.

Talent is Overrated is a good book. Worth a read.
