I'd say they are born but that you also have to put a lot of hard work and effort in too,
as with many other things in life.

I think you see that in a lot of things, football snooker etc...

What was it some golfer(s) once said "The harder I work the luckier I get"

Although it is also attributed to Thomas Jefferson and a few others!

It's a pity that this intense Italian film entitled "The Queen of Chess" was never translated into English. The scene above shows the young Queen of chess beating her aging trainer a chess master himself. The language isn't necessary to understand the girl's tremendous obsessive desire to win the game and more. Sometimes winning is losing and losing is winning.

Hunny: Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them
and you have their shoes.
