There’s always the option at getting incredibly good at, say, painting little cottages. Be the next Kinkade and sell greeting cards. “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”

Sure experience counts alot I won't deny that. But if you're bad at painting little cottages and then get better by constantly painting them can you say that you would be as good as someone who was good at painting little cottages and put in the same effort to get even better at it as you do?

But the one who was good at painting little cottages has already been painting a bunch of little cottages. Sure some people may be naturally more drawn (haha) to a specific skill but we all start at square one.

Never said they had already been painting anything that's a false assumption on your part. Some people are just better starting out than others. We all do not start out at square one. Some of us start out at 1 (+2) or 1 (-3) or 1 (+0) and effort doesn't always equal the same amount of gain either, hence the hidden values. It's not something we like to say but we are not all equal and we don't all start out at the same place some people are better than others at things naturally. This is what we call having talent at something and why we even have the word talent.
