Later on Sunday

Addendum to previous post.  There's also the pervasive myth of "talent." And the idea that one can give up on the work by using the excuse that other people have more "talent" than you, or that you don't have talent, when in truth, sure, there's talent, but there's also sweat and passion, and oftentimes the latter two can make up for the lack of the former. (Especially, if one takes talent for granted and doesn't do the work.)

And sure there are things you needed to start early (or have the body type): ballet lessons, gymnastics training, basketball, etc., but even late in life you could still be a weightlifter, a black-belt, a competitive marathoner, an archer, etc. And you could become a writer, a poet, a painter, a photographer, a sculptor, an actor, etc., at any age, body type and child-prodigy status not-withstanding. Daily, people reinvent their lives out of necessity or bravery.
