  "account": "The author reflects on their experience learning to play the trombone, starting at the age of 14. Despite wanting to be a musician, they hated practicing and didn't do it, instead playing in various bands such as the Freiwilligen Feuerwehr Vinnhorst brass orchestra and a big band. Their trombone teacher eventually suggested they consider a different career path, which they now pursue. The author notes that learning an instrument requires discipline and practice, which they struggled with. They draw a parallel with sports training, which they also avoid.",
  "summary": "To be successful, it takes diligence - and less talent than many think. Discipline is considered the ultimate prerequisite for achieving goals. But how do you finally embrace it?",
