Learning from Failure

I definitely was not successful in learning how to play the acoustic guitar. I’m nowhere close to being able to play You’re Beautiful by James Blunt. No matter how much intrinsic motivation I have to accomplish a task, it really doesn’t make any difference. Unless I have some skill set in what I’m doing, I won’t be able to complete a task, like being able to play guitar. It doesn’t matter how hard I try, my fingers are simply not long enough for me to be instrumentally inclined. Maybe it’s best for me to progress in the skills that I already have, such as photography, instead of trying to learn to be good at things that I clearly have no talent in.
