Quote by Stephen King

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talent

Summary

This quote suggests that talent alone is quite common and easy to find, like table salt that is inexpensive and readily available. However, what truly differentiates individuals who have talent from those who achieve success is the significant amount of hard work they put in. In other words, talent may be a starting point, but without dedication, effort, and perseverance, talent alone isn't enough to lead to success. The quote highlights the importance of working hard to convert talent into tangible achievements.

And so must learn to love with our mouths and voices, as well as with our eyes, flesh, heart, brains, and with everything we have, right down to our toenails. There is not anything about us that cannot love, and that is not called to love, and that is not destined to be turned, conformed, and reduced to pure love. It ...is the priceless deposit left by the burning away of selfishness.
