When young, my piano teacher said I will never be a pianoplayer, unfortunately.
Regarding playing a musical instrument, sometimes people have advantageous or disadvantageous physical traits. The hands of Rachmaninov, Van Cliburn and Daniil Trifonov for example were/are ideally suited for piano, while others including my own are not. But everyone has a personal and unique creativity, and I believe that to the extent that one finds and cultivates that creative "voice" within oneself, it can speak to and move others.
