While living abroad, I met a photojournalist who made me want to get into his line of work. That is, until I asked him for a breakdown of what it entails. In short, his words reflected the pie chart you posted.

I think it's also important to distinguish something one is talented at doing vs what one enjoys doing. I grew up drawing regularly, out of pleasure, and believe I can still do it with some degree of skill, but for two decades now I haven't had any enthusiasm to pick it up again.

Perhaps people who agree with the quote are both talented at and enthusiastic about what they do.
