Quote by Stephen King

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

Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talent

Summary

This quote suggests that talent alone is not enough to achieve success. The speaker implies that talent is easily accessible and abundant, similar to table salt, and its possession does not guarantee success. What truly sets apart successful people from others is their tremendous amount of effort and hard work. While talent might provide a foundation, it is the consistent dedication and perseverance that ultimately help individuals to reach their goals and accomplish greatness.
