It's an oldie from 2015, but I still think about it whenever people talk about being talented at something.

To be fair, to be able to practice regularly for so long to gain skill is rather lucky. Also, not all practice is equal, so having someone teach you to practice more effectively is a privilege. Either that or practicing on your own in an unguided manner and still being able to gain skill takes talent.

Yeah, that's lucky and very well could require being lucky enough to have some sort of talent along the path.

This. It's easier to practice/study if you don't share a room with 3 siblings and don't need to spend your off time supporting the family in various ways.

Also, don't get mad at that person trying to give you a compliment
