Becoming good at something takes a lot more than just talent. It takes hard work — pure, unbiased, hard work. Pressing on, day after day. Pulling your hair out in frustration, night after night. It’s definitely much easier to believe in luck, instead of actually having to put hard work, time, and effort into something. I agree with this statement in how some individuals blame themselves for not pursuing a passion they might have considered at some point. They deny themselves the possibility of being great at a craft because once they compare themselves to other people that might have developed themselves more in that particular field, they lose motivation and interest in trying it out themselves.
