Wouldn't it take talent to actually perform deliberate practice? Most people don't have that kind of self control.

From this one talent springs all.

But this "talent", to make effort in a specific way, seems more a moral "talent" - like courage or kindness - than anything else. These qualities can be cultivated, and are a necessary part of being human that are within us all. They are within you.
