As narcissistic as I am, I don’t think I’m “talented.”

Huh. To me it seems more narcissistic for someone to say that they have no special talent and that their success is entirely due to their superior work ethic and years of study and sacrifice.

I’m just like everybody else — can get pretty decent at a lot of things.

That's a very different claim than "innate talent doesn't exist".

Yes! This is why I never said innate talent doesn’t exist.
