You guys ever look out an airplane window or do some people watching in a crowded place? There are a fuck ton of people, all competing for the same resources, and with (if you made one of those FIFA-style player attributes charts, about the same overall ability). Im pretty darn good at running, recently did a big race and placed prob in the top 0.5%, the guy who won beat me by 3 mins (over 10% my time). I try and be good at music, really hard, probably not gifted at this, but my shit is way worse than any number of unknown artists. Everyone back home thinks I'm the smart one. All that's done is gotten me some jobs and into programs where I meet much smarter people. There are literally 10s of millions of "gifted" people. We're as common as a pretty girl on instagram. ESPECIALLY in "superstar" cities.
