It is not enough to have great qualities We should also have

Summary

This quote suggests that possessing exceptional qualities or talents is not sufficient on its own; one must also possess the ability to effectively manage or utilize those qualities. In other words, it is not just about having potential but also about knowing how to make the most of it. Merely having talent or virtues without the skill to manage them may lead to underutilization or even failure. Hence, the quote emphasizes the importance of developing the necessary skills and strategies to effectively maximize one's abilities.
