Not sure if I agree with this. Obviously if you have a natural talent for something, it’s easier to be good at it. Most people though can be very good, great even, at something they simply decide to practice. Most people don’t “actively” practice though, even if they are “doing” something. Purposeful practice is very different from doing.


I’m not saying talent is enough.

I’m just speaking from my experience. I put a lot of practice into things that I am also talented at and life is good. shrug

I put practice into other things like cooking and music too but I’m not going to become a chef or play music for anything but fun.
