1) most of us don't know what are talents are
2) "genius is 90% perspiration, 10% inspiration"
3) some recent estimates are that it takes about 10,000 hours (*) of
just about anything to master it. this is said to be independent of
"talent".
4) if you think you can become a craftsman through will and effort
alone, you probably haven't tried to become a craftsman in anything
that you lack talent for.
(*) thats about 5-6 years, working 40hrs a week on a discipline
