For every Mozart there are probably many who are skilled enough to make a living at writing music but who aren't as well known to the public.

Yes, I agree. Most of us would need passion or willpower to drive us to do things. But I like that life is simply being complicated by always defying rules such as "practice makes perfect". I also agree with one comment wherein if we practice the same error, we won't really improve because we are only perfecting our mistakes. lol

My kung fu Dai Sifu would lay a trap waiting for a new student to respond, "Practice makes perfect."
He would pounce and impress, "No... only perfect practice makes perfect."
In other words, if you don't repeat "it" perfectly (whatever "it" is) and consistently, you are only perfecting your mistakes.
I can see how games like chess improve by repetition, but I think you'd need to be playing against someone who was a better player.
As far as getting to the top (whether it's work, sport, property, investing or whatever), "Timing is everything".
And if you don't have timing, you need leverage.
