The older I get the more I realize just how common talent is in the world. Knowing that doesn't make talent any less impressive, just that it makes you appreciate how rare opportunity is.

@fromjason People underestimate the opportunity factor: being in the right place at the right time is probably more important than talent (as in, here now and available beats better but not soon available ). And of course visibility: more opportunities come your way when people know you (either because you have nepo baby syndrome, or are an insufferable self-publicist on the social network du jour, or perhaps because you have a reputation for being good in your field).
