It can be discouraging, even if you know this is true for so many people, though, to see the "young genius" types. They're exceptions to almost every rule by definition, but it can be hard to remember that when you see someone years or decades younger burst onto the scene and seem to eclipse what you can do with far less effort.
But yes, it's important to remember that even in fields with famous examples of luminaries like that, there are still countless other experts who practiced and practiced and continually got better to achieve their expertise out of willpower more than sheer transcendent prodigy.
