People speak of talent. There is no such thing as talent. Quite simply there is a person that worked harder than you. People use the word talent the way they use the concept of divinity. Talent is an explanation for how someone could be better than I am. God must have done that. God didn't do that, the collective hard work and experience of an dedicated person did that.
People call Mark Ziya "talented" every time he picks up a guitar. I know better. That man has no talent. That man sat angry in front of a Johnson Millennium amp, guitar in hand, until his fingers bled. He doesn't have talent, he has something to prove. Stop giving credit to talent, start giving credit to agony, start giving credit to being the smallest kid on the bus, start giving credit to the part of you that would rather die than come in second. You are talent, you are capable, you are your own hero!
