I agree and note that what people are responding to here is not an essay but an advertisement. It really doesn't merit that much deep thinking! The guy just wants to sell you a course for $250.

As for the topic, getting good at anything requires repetition, attention to detail, and discipline. At the same time, "you're trying too hard" can sometimes be useful advice.

The author's idiosyncratic definition of "effort" is banal and unhelpful.
