It's generally believed that success in fields such as art and sport can only be achieved if a person has natural talent. However, it's sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good sports person or artist. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

such
as art and sport.
In contrast
, some people believe that any child can become accomplished and skilful athletes or artists as long as they have the right guidance and work hard. In
this
essay, I will discuss both points of views before giving my own opinions. People who receive a natural gift to have certain abilities often fulfil their goals with less difficulties than others. Their talent

them excellent in the way they do the things, while their passion drives them to a huge success.
For instance
, Lionel Messi is considered as a football genius as

On the other hand
, many support the view that genius are not born, but made.From my own experience, I did observe and hear about people who are born without being gifted, but passionate. Their roads to victory may be painful and take a very long time of patience and persistence. Cristiano Ronaldo is a football player,
in contrast
to Messi, is called a hard working machine and earn his career with a lot of efforts.
In other words
