Quote by J. PetitSenn, Conceits and Capri

Where talent is a dwarf, self-esteem is a giant.

Where talent is a dwarf, self-esteem is a giant.

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone possesses little talent or skill in a particular area, their level of self-esteem or self-confidence tends to be excessively high. Despite lacking the abilities or achievements to justify it, they have an inflated sense of their own worth or importance. This can be seen as a compensatory mechanism, as individuals with limited talent may feel a need to overcompensate by bolstering their self-esteem in order to maintain a positive self-image.
