Talent Quotes

My child, many believe that talent is everything. That it's just something you're born with. Yes, some are born with a special touch, a unique seed.

But a seed alone isn't enough. It needs water, sun, and care. It needs hard work, dedication, perseverance, and the willingness to fall and rise a thousand times. Talent is the starting point, but discipline is what paves the way and creates legends: legends of passion, practice, and achieving potential. These very ideals are reflected in the powerful quotes that inspire.
