How many times have you heard a singer and said "I can do that," or heard a song and said "I could write a song like that," or heard a guitar solo and said "I could play like that"?
It is one thing to claim to be able to do something and quite another to actually do it. Thomas Jefferson said "Do not talk about what you have done or about what you are going to do." Simply make up your mind and do it.
Do not waste your time and words convincing yourself or others of the greatness you can achieve. Intelligent people have the ability to excel at whatever they put their mind to. The catch is putting your mind to it.
Success lies not in what you can do but what you do.
Find what you are passionate about and dedicate yourself to it. Apply your intelligence over time to accomplish things. There is a large distance between deciding to do something and actually accomplishing it.
