Because the way to improve skills, athleticism, ability to play an instrument, basically anything…

Is practice.

Training.

Sure, some people are naturally better or worse at certain things than others.

Not everyone will turn out equally better given the same amount and style of training.

But all of the initial different starting aptitudes at a certain skill vanish into meaninglessness against a person who consistently trains and practices, that person will be considerably more talented than any ‘natural’, 99% of the time.

Also… some people, most people do things because they enjoy doing them.

Not because they need or want to be better than others.

If your goal is to have fun, develop a skill, stay in shape, have fun… you’re always winning, even if you aren’t literally the best.

… And if you do try to always be the literal best… there’s almost always someone better if you keeo advancing into higher skilled competition levels and even if you are truly the best… you won’t be forever. You’ll get an injury, make a mistake, or just get old.
