That’s true about everything. How many Mozarts are out there that never picked up an instrument? My son has a world-class, heartbreaking singing voice. In high school, he had the lead in every musical, and girls would literally cry when he sang, but he has absolutely no interest in pursuing it, even as a hobby.
How many great writers, great chefs, great runners, great artists, even great mathematicians, etc. who just weren’t interested in the subject?
