沒有任何人生來如此

“The gifts possessed by the best performers are not at all what we think they are. They are certainly not enough to explain the achievements of such people—and that’s if these gifts exist at all. You are not a natural-born clarinet virtuoso or car salesman or bond trader or brain surgeon—because no one is.”—Geoff Colvin

「頂尖成就者所具備的天賦，跟我們所想的完全不一樣。天賦完全不足以用來解釋這些頂尖人士的成就，何況這還是假設天賦確實存在下所做的分析。你不會是天生的單簧管大師、汽車銷售員、證券交易員或是大腦外科醫師，因為沒有任何人生來如此。」——柯文
