<p>“You can wire your brain to be good at things.”</p>
<p>Please elaborate.</p>
<p>“I went out searching for some evidence on this. There are some various and sundry articles on both sides of the issue. To say that all it takes is hard work and self-discipline is foolish. To work at the highest levels of math is akin to being a renowned tenor or artist. People have innate talents that not everyone possesses. To say you can just plow through is a foolish statement. If that were the case anyone could be an NFL quarterback with enough hard work but we know that isn’t the case.”</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? Go ask Wayne Gretzky or Tiger Woods about how they got to their level talent. Ask anyone who is at top of their field, and not a damn one of them is going to say “I was just simply born with the ability.”</p>
