Summary

This quote suggests that while hard work may not necessarily be a skill in itself, it is the most effective alternative to possessing a specific skill. In absence of a particular talent or expertise, putting in effort and demonstrating perseverance can compensate for the lack thereof. This implies that the sheer determination to work hard and give one's best can often lead to success, irrespective of lacking innate abilities or specialized skills. Hard work can bridge the gap and serve as a valuable substitute in achieving one's goals and aspirations.
