So you guys remember the kids who always Sucked at kickball/baseball in school?

you know, the ones that just sucked and no one wanted on their team, the guys usually stuck out in right field and batted last.

i think that correlation can be drawn towards webmasters, too.

me, right now, i'm probably a left fielder in that regard, i have potential through the sites i've been working on the past 8 months which aren't quite complete yet.. but i intend to be the pitcher, as i once was in baseball

as athleticism is the determining factor of a person's skill being an athlete, what is it that determines a person's chances of being a successful webmaster? obviously a certain degree of intelligence is needed, but i think most importantly (and this is probably universal in most things in life), motivation and drive is the key.

but can a person succeed on minimal intelligence and strong drive alone? or does it require something else, something nearly genetic like a good business sense? can a strong sense of business really be learned?
