Innate Talent

The question is this: is there such a thing as innate talent? The obvious answer is yes. | |
… Achievement is talent plus preparation. The problem with this view is that the closer psychologists look at the careers of the gifted, the smaller the role innate talent seems to play and the bigger the role preparation seems to play. | |
— Malcolm Gladwell | |
From his book: “Outliers“ | |
