Evidence that Practice and Greatness are related

Practice leads to greatness. Nothing can be more evident than the examples that Adam Grant has provided in his book Originals.

In his book the author argues that greatness can only be achieved when we do a high volume of work. Only a small fraction of the work would eventually be considered great.

The big lesson we derive from this is continuous practice will refine our art.
