Document Summary
But back in the day, there wasn"t internet (@___@), people weren"t as good at typing (b/c computers were not as amazing) Is high level performance due to inborn ability? e. g. , being a short basketball player would put you at a disadvantage. Athletics is good for looking at people who are so well practiced that their performance is highly automatic. Still, people believe in inborn/innate talent among world class athletes that makes them special. Believed high-level performance was gained through hard work. There may be hereditary base to talent (he was darwin"s cousin, after all) Looking at judges, academic (limited sample, yo) many were related to each other. 11 y/o guitarist (james bell) -- this kid is amazing. Also band of 5 5y/o guitarist -- they"re so tiny but good. People watch these and think this supports how talent is inborn. Key to success in any endeavour: start young and practice incessantly e. g. , world class performer, athletes, scientists.
