Summary

This quote emphasizes that success does not solely depend on natural talent or abilities. Instead, the key factor that determines success is one's level of determination and desire. Simply being highly skilled or gifted is not enough if there is no true passion and hunger to excel. The quote suggests that those who are driven by a strong desire and unwavering commitment are more likely to achieve their goals and ultimately surpass those who may possess more innate skills but lack the same level of motivation.
