Talent is not something you develop, it is something you are born with. Skill is something you develop. It is like a blunt knife which needs to be sharpened.

Is it just type, type and type? Is it just stuck at a computer terminal typing away? So many questions for the ignorant, so many questions for the misinformed and so many questions for the uninformed.
