Quote by Milton Glaser

The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that talent alone is not sufficient for success. While talent, or natural ability, is important, it is the combination of talent with qualities such as will, desire, and persistence that truly matter. Talent without the drive and determination to pursue one's goals will ultimately be wasted, while even modest talent can flourish when paired with traits like strong willpower and a burning desire to succeed. In other words, it is the person's determination and passion that allow them to make the most of their talents and achieve growth and success.
