Not to mention the fact that while practice and genetics are extremely important at finding success, innate enjoyment/passion is also a major factor. I can think of several things that I'm particularly good at and have practiced a lot on, yet don't enjoy -- soccer being one of them.
I think that there's such a thing as a 'calling in life' and that's why people stand out -- it's a combo of genetics, practice and passion. One would think that vision is a genetic prerequisite to playing the piano, and yet there are people like Stevie Wonder who've surpassed anyone's expectations.
