A Better Idea

The amount of practice hours that the characters described in the context have taken to become either the best violinists or the best football player in the case of Rice is a factor that restructures the way one views talents. These results tend to create a sub-portion in the brain that subscribes to the notion that talent does not exist and everything people are better in are all as a consequence of an obsession with practice and the amount effort dedicated to the practice sessions.

Yes, to some extent it is true since one needs practice and not just little practice, but proper practice to become the best in a field of choice but that is not it all. There are some cases where people practice, then get better, and after some time they level off in their performance pointing out that there is a driving force that must come from within an individual.

That is, practice only makes perfect if the individual has a strong will and might to get what it takes to become a master in whatever he or she wills in life. Moreover, for the case of the violinists, if one took more time to practice, he or she becomes used to it, and if there exist a will and might in such a person, then he or she will become a better violinist and eventually become the best.

For instance, learning is a task that requires both attention in class and practice at home, and this applies to most of the students in school with a few exceptions since there are those individuals who grasp the content faster and those who takes some time to grasp it. This means that people have different potentials and the amount of time designated for practice determines the level of achievement and success in all that we do.
