ability comes naturally
From experience
From formal training

However, if it is my duty not only to rebuke others, but also to set forth my own views, I think all intelligent people will agree with me that while many of those who have pursued philosophy have remained in private life, others, on the other hand, who have never taken lessons from any one of the sophists have become able orators and the statesmen. For ability, whether in speech or in any other activity, is found in those who are well endowed by nature and have been schooled by practical experience. Formal training make such men more skillful and more resourceful in discovering the possibilities of a subject; for it teachers them to take from a readier source the topics which they otherwise hit upon
