Being a bad guy is not easy. It takes a lot of effort. It is not that easy to get people to fall in line.

Not for you or me, but for some it's far easier. What they were born to do, one might say. Natural abilities that cannot be taught, nor learned.

Some people have perfect pitch, some the gift of gab, some can see thousands of feet without the need for a telescope, some can play a guitar like ringing a bell, and some can persuade other men to shoot to death old women and little babies in their beds.

I am not saying that practice doesn't improve their ability, but no point practicing to improve an ability you weren't born with. When I sing, I sound like a crow, no matter how much I practice, I'll never sing opera.
