Yet, others think that it is purely by talent. Both are wrong; it is a combination of both unprecedented talent and unrealistic opportunities that cultivate an extraordinary artist. True, one might be gifted, but unless someone comes along and offers an opportunity to develop that gift into more than a hobby, he or she will never be successful from
