in my drawing classes, and at my art college there are people who try and try and want nothing more than to fulfill their dream of being an artist, but their work never shows any sign of improvement.
if people enjoy doing it, fine, but if your work is not of a high standard then it's a bit much to try and sell it to people, and that is the point of this thread. it's also pretty easy to see how your work compares to the best practitioners, i.e. if it is good or not.

Exactly. People
are born talented. That's not even a question. I do believe that almost anyone has the
potential to reach the same level, but it is much harder for certain people to do certain things. You can work your ass off to be good at something you're not good at, but if there's something else that you like, which you
are good at, why not do that? It's whatever is most fulfilling for you personally.
