Summary

This quote suggests that having talent alone is not sufficient for success or achieving one's goals. It argues that alongside talent, an individual also needs a certain level of luck or the ability to take advantage of fortunate circumstances. In other words, talent can only take someone so far, but being able to recognize and seize opportunities is equally important in achieving desired outcomes.
