Actually people ARE born more or less equal. Even the difference between male and female is not so great on a physiological level. As I said they're predispositions. And people who say "I've got no talent so I might as well settle for average", are just playing into that self-fulfilling prophecy. The Bachs, Beethovens, Jimmy Hendrix' and Stephen Hawkings just had the advantage of being taught their field from a very young age. And that's not talent, that's hard work again(maybe a little luck).

I'm not saying what you wrote is wrong. As you said these people had a calling, that they loved what they did and put every hour of every day getting better at it. Then that's what you're calling talent? In that case talent is just the will to work as hard as you can for something you're passionate about.

What I'm trying to say is that the only thing between being awful at something and becoming incredibly good at something is the will to put in the hours of work. The human brain is very flexible, even so flexible that it can 'rewire' itself completely after a traumatic event like an amputation of blindness.

Heck I'm getting carried away, but that's the psychologist in me speaking.
