Summary

This quote by Benjamin Franklin encourages individuals to not keep their talents hidden or underutilized. Franklin suggests that our talents were given to us for a purpose, and to keep them hidden is akin to rendering them useless. Comparing talents to a sundial in the shade, he implies that if a sundial is not in the sunlight, it cannot fulfill its intended function of measuring time accurately. Similarly, if we do not fully utilize and showcase our talents, we are not living up to our potential or contributing meaningfully to the world.
