The word "aptitude" is misleading,
because it implies something innate. The most powerful sort of
aptitude is a consuming interest in some question, and such interests
are often acquired tastes.

"The ideas will follow me. When they’re off-guard, and ready to be born, I’ll turn around and grab them." - Ray Bradbury
It's the same with people who
do great things. They know they'll feel bad if they don't work,
and they have enough discipline to get themselves to their desks
to start working. But once they get started, interest takes over,
and discipline is no longer necessary.
