It can be correlated with two types of mindset that Carol Dweck writes about in her book. Fixed mindset that belives the intelligence and talent are constant and once reaching the top of your skill there is no place to improve, and growth mindset that belives there is always a place for improvement and by hard working everybody can master any skill set. But what is interesting in her discoveries is the fact that people with fixed mindset once learning about growth mindset can switch to it and still make great results. Talent is overrated and always beaten by hard work :)
