>> "If you practice hard, soon you might find you're the best in your group of students,"
I strongly disagree.
When I was young I wanted to became a great guitarist.
I've practiced a lot, but when I was near 18 I understood a simple thing: "I will never be Freep, Clapton or Hendrix, no matter how I will try harder".
I put aside my guitar for years. I'd thought that time: "I will never became great musician, but I can be a good engineer".
My wife was amazed that I can play guitar after two years of our marriage.
Hard work is not definitive factor in all cases. Sometimes you just must have inherent ability to do the work.
For example: everybody could be trained to run marathon. But it's not possible to be trained as good marathon runner. One must have genetic ability for this.
