Abstract
It is tempting to ascribe the most outstanding achievements and discoveries in history to inborn talent, exclusive to only a handful of gifted individuals. Nevertheless, such feats are convincingly secondary to the potential for mastery-something we all share. Many studies demonstrate phenomena, such as perceptual learning, that corroborate a human's potential for mastery. This mutual power latently resides in the mind and needs to be turned on and exercised with patience and tenacity in order to reap its benefits. The potential for mastery when reached, not inborn talent, will enable oral and maxillofacial surgeons to innovate and move the field forward.
