I've heard it said the world is filled with plenty of unsuccessful talented people. Genius is even less rare than one might believe.
Having innate talent or skill for something can also be a detriment. Too often it leads to complacency and allows people to freely bemoan the unfairness of an industry if their talent alone does not lead to success. "Well, I'm great at what I do so it must be their fault."
Persistence is king. The individual determined to consistently beat on their craft until they get better, to push themselves to meet and collaborate with likeminded people, and turns "shoulds" into "musts" often win.
Finally, can you imagine what you could accomplish with talent AND persistence AND the right attitude?
