Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talent

Summary

This quote suggests that talent alone is quite common and easy to find, like table salt that is inexpensive and readily available. However, what truly differentiates individuals who have talent from those who achieve success is the significant amount of hard work they put in. In other words, talent may be a starting point, but without dedication, effort, and perseverance, talent alone isn't enough to lead to success. The quote highlights the importance of working hard to convert talent into tangible achievements.
