I've always hated this notion of being "gifted" and "successful". What does that ever mean? Everybody should have his/her own life to live and experience in full. Trying to force such an shallow and meaningless mainstream value on everybody is a totally terrible thing to do. Not to mention your view seems to indicate that being "special" means something innate, something "determined at birth", which is a horrible model to begin with.
