Think about this: Charlie Bird Parker, undoubtedly one of the best saxophonists of all time, reportedly practiced 11 hours a day for a period of 5 years! People say music and art is natural ability, but Parker practiced an inhuman amount of time to become as good as he did. I would also say that even Feymann, Einstein, or any of the math and science geniuses put in tremendous effort to achieve what they did. Saying that you can't be the same as them is doing yourself a diservice. Maybe they are truly "better," but even mediocre mathematicians and scientists can get "lucky" and come up with something groundbreaking. Never shortchange your ability to see something many very great people have missed.
