Being born smart is utter bullshit. Same as being born strong.
You have to work for it. Some people got help from their parents when they were young, and some didn't. Some had one day of their life the idea to learn something or train, and some didn't.
The "predetermined talents" thinking is one of the biggest myths alive.
Well, part of being smart is genetic. For example, a cat or gorilla's genetic makeup do not allow them to work hard and become as smart as most humans.
