“talent is just pursued interest” Bob Ross
1 comments

Every time I've paid attention to a "talented" person what I've found is some quirk in their personality/history that gives them an intense interest in the subject. That interest drives them to practice the subject far more than most people would bother with.
The causation flows the other way too. You're more likely to develop and sustain an interest in something that you're naturally good at.
