Talent is not the cause of excellence, practice is.
--- K. Anders Ericsson
Being exceptional at something doesn't come down to a natural-born talent, but to continuous practice and perseverance. You need to push yourself beyond your limits. You're capable more than you realize, but you have to stick with it.
