Yes, you are quite right. Attainment is achieved by hard work and practice, practice, practice.
However those at either end of the Bell Curve are different.
It's not true that we are all gifted. In fact only a very tiny number are gifted at one end of the Bell curve; and an equal number of non compos mentis are at the other end.
And the tiny number of gifted are different emotionally in that they are over excitable (OE).
And OE and a very high IQ are signs of giftedness.
So there are two things to keep in mind with giftedness and that is the gifted are extremely rare and that they are emotionally different.
