If the rule is wrong then it's really good news! At least for my mental state, as I've spent countless hours practicing music in a span of 15 years and still play worse than some of the self-taught beginners with 3-4 years of experience. It's depressing and is already becoming an obstacle in motivating to practice further.

If the rule stands, it means it's my fault: I'm not motivated enough, not passionate enough, not smart enough to organize my practice routine. It's what I'm thinking today and what hurts my self-esteem. If the rule's wrong that would be a relief, as it means it's not completely my fault.
