Even though some of our skills depends on genetics and luck, a heavy part still depends on your motivation.
Example: Shawn Johnson, when born, had an APGAR score of 0. That's the worst state of health you can be at birth. She could of mind as well given up and settled for some kind of non-stressful career. However, she put her mind to becoming a gymnast, and look where she is now.
Okay okay, that's not exactly the greatest example, but I just had to pull the Shawn Johnson reference.
Better example: You could be beautiful at birth, but if you're not that inclined to become a model or something and eat a lot of junk food, you could might as well be obese.
