One way, only way, "the" way = Hard Work

It takes elite performers a minimum of 10,000 hours of deliberate focused practice to become experts. Deliberate practice does not mean doing what you are good at; it means challenging yourself, doing what you are not good at.

There is broad consensus among researchers of expert performance that inborn talent does not account for much more than a threshold; you have to have a minimum amount of natural ability to get started in a sport or profession. After that, the people who excel are the ones who work the hardest.
