Is it possible for someone to become a skilled white hat hacker through self-study and hard work, without any natural talent or special skills?

Man… I have never seen anyone achieve anything without hard work. I am gifted at art and even though it comes easy to me I have to work hard to improve as any other person. I am terrible at math but I learned it and learned to love it because I was interested. Yes it takes me less time to learn about colors than to learn about mathematical matrices and yes, composition is a breeze in the park to me compared to algebra and as a result I need to work harder in one over the other but that doesn’t mean I didn’t work hard to become a good well-rounded artist.
