I don't see anything wrong with the picture. I mean you can call him an ******* for getting angry at people who are just trying to compliment him (in their own flawed way), but he's not wrong. With all the talent in the world he would still be a complete nobody without the hard work and dedication. There is no need to "give thanks" for his ability as some gift of god just as there is no need to be angry at god for not giving us the athleticism to be NBA athletes.

It just seems like a ridiculous idea to thank God for giving people talent as if it was a personal gift if we're not also going to blame God for all of our shortcomings as well. People are born and are often suited to different things. When someone is suited for a specific task and they also put in the tremendous amount of work to perfect their craft, great things can happen. If God is responsible for everything, I don't see the point in acknowledging it, since the only variable in the equation is free will and the person's choice to put in the work and become great at something.
