Summary

This quote suggests that achievement or success cannot be solely attained through superficial factors or hidden shortcuts. It emphasizes that hard work, dedication, and consistent effort are the essential elements required to accomplish great feats. Merely relying on one's appearance or possessing a "secret recipe" (implying a privileged advantage) is not enough to achieve remarkable outcomes, as true accomplishments demand perseverance and genuine capabilities rather than relying on superficial traits or shortcuts.
