By the way, and a little off-topic, if you think talent really matters much in the big scheme of things, read Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers. Amazing. Bottom line, studies have shown that success is about opportunity + practice, practice and more practice. Talent might give someone a very minor jump start, but that's about it.
