Only in a vacuum: there might be something besides piano more in line with your aptitudes that, for the same effort, will give you more reward (or the same reward with less effort).

This isnt to say I don't believe we should do things we're bad at -- I think broadening our aptitudes is good for us -- but you do have to consider the opportunity cost of piano versus another option.

That's the tragedy of 'everyone can do everything' thinking. And it's why growth-mindset has to be tempered with recognition of aptitude. If it isn't it can derail lives.
