    Pretty much no one starts out good. I consider it far more impressive to start from nothing and build a skill than to just have a natural talent going in.

    I was born perfect at everything I can do well.

    (Because everything I failed at I immediately stopped doing.)

    Calling someones hard earned skill “talent” is nothing short of insulting. Talent does not exist, there is only vast and endless effort and practice poured into a skill. People that are good at something are skilled, not talented. It’s not a gift, it wasn’t given, it was earned.
