>>11572397No, the truth is that some people are born with an really high IQ and a genetic predisposition to mathematics, not only that but the ambient in which those people grew in also elevated their ceilings. People like Tao, Perelman, Scholze, Avila etc were simply born and trained since youth to achieve their full potentials.
What does this mean? It means that they're players with more talent than we, but it doesn't mean that we can't do it, it'll just be much harder for us to make a breakthrough or to achieve fame within this area. The odds are all in their favor, that's why a lot of them end up winning a Fields Medal or revolutionizing entire fields, but their success and genius have nothing to do with us, it doesn't makes us uncapable of doing the same, but again, in our case it'll be extremely hard, time consuming, it'll need a lot of effort and dedication and honestly a huge amount of luck as well, so most of us, ordinary people, simply don't have all those.
All I can say to you is to not give up, but as you get older and older and you still can't reach the level you want to reach, don't feel bad about it, most of us couldn't as well, actually, almost no one couldn't. That's the sad reality of our world.
