> You'll never be really good at anything you don't care about.
Depends on your definition of "care."
If by care you mean find interesting or enjoyable, then I have to disagree with you. I'd say most people are very good at at least one thing they don't care about simply because they need to do it for some reason. I have neither talent nor passion for mental math, for example, but I'm quite good at it (relative to the average person, at least) simply because I need to do it every day for my job/hobbies.
If by care you mean find it worth doing, then you're right, but then it's just circular reasoning--no one does anything without, on some level, finding it worth doing, so clearly you can't be good at something without doing it. You could say I care about mental math in the sense that otherwise I'd just refuse to do it, but that goes without saying.
I'm pretty sure the OP is about the first definition here, not the second. It shouldn't be controversial that human beings are capable of learning things (and learning them well) that they're not naturally inclined to do nor are they particularly interested in.
