If you're good at something, does that mean it comes easy to you?

I was just thinking very generally about the different things people do and how some people are excellent at what they do. So do you think great work that's produced by an individual comes from A) a lot of dedicated time and effort or B) an innate ability that comes to people with a lot of ease and quickness because they're naturally good at something and just honed in on their skill. Or a combination of both?

I hope this question makes some type of sense...

    A lot of times people just like what they are doing so they put in the time and effort so in my opinion it's mostly hard work/dedication and liking what you are doing

    I think it comes from both! But not being able to do something is permanent (most of the time at least)! If you're not good at something working on it and practicing continuously will benefit you and help improve your ability. If someone is naturally good at something, it may come a little easier than someone with an average ability to do the same task. It also depends on how you approach a situation or task. If you are eager to improve, hard work will end up being the method someone takes. If you dread a task, slacking off will be an easier route.

    great work is a result of time and effort

    Mozart didn't compose great music until he had practiced several hours a day for several years

    Bill Gates had unlimited access to computers as a young and it wasn't until he had put thousands of hours of work into computing that he began making great things
