Well that's a tricky question, because it isn't just a matter of potential. It's how much adversity you have in your way, how you deal with that, and how it effects you in the long term. Id say no.
Oh and TS way pros and cons and statistical probabilities by all means, but don't ever tell yourself you aren't smart enough to achieve your goals. I did that for many years and it's a trap. Everyone that makes it isn't some genius. There aren't many geniuses out there. The people that make it are just willing to work hard. Make sure you have some basic aptitude for what you want to do, but that's about it.
