I believe that every person is born with talent.
Maya Angelou
Talent is God-given, be humble. Fame is man-given, be grateful. Conceit is self-given, be careful.
John Wooden
If curiosity was enough for him, just maybe it can be enough for us too…

My young friend, try to find what you can do best, and then do it all the time.
Paul Bartlett
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If fame comes at all it will come because fame is deserved, not because it is sought after.

Self-serving people regard their talent & resources as what they OWN. Serving people regard them as what’s on LOAN.
Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.
Each man has his own vocation; his talent is his call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him.
