But mainly, some kids are born smarter and some "dumber" and there's nothing you can do to change the dumb ones to smart.

It's a deep conversation but I reckon it's more like weightlifting.

Some people are naturally stronger and some are weaker. But if you train, you will be stronger than you were, regardless.

You might not become world champion with weak genes, but you'll be stronger than everyone who doesn't train.
