Practice is quiet and unglamorous, which is why people call the result talent.

The hours that produce a skill are invisible to everyone except the person putting them in, so the only thing an observer ever sees is the outcome. Talent is the word for that gap in visibility. Ability is not evenly distributed, but most of the difference got made somewhere nobody was watching.

When you catch yourself assuming someone was simply born able, go looking for the hidden hours instead. Then put in some of your own today, and stop expecting them to feel remarkable while you are inside them.
