"In photography, part of the hard work is developing your eye to see, hence crafting your artistic vision, and that only happens through practice. As you grow, you begin to see things that you neglected to see before. That is only learned by going through the artistic journey.

That said, if you want it then make the decisions to work hard and succeed. I don't think the fairy will come sprinkling her dust. Success is the result of putting in the time and hard work."
