Quote by John C. Maxwell

Talent is a gift, but character is a choice.

Talent is a gift, but character is a choice.

Summary

This quote suggests that while talent or natural abilities may be something we are born with, character is something we develop through our choices and actions. Talent alone may provide certain advantages, but it is our character that ultimately determines the kind of person we become. We have the power to choose to cultivate positive character traits such as integrity, kindness, and perseverance, regardless of our talent level. Ultimately, character is a reflection of our values, choices, and how we treat others, which holds more significance than mere talent alone.

When Ted Williams was here, inducted into the Hall of Fame 37 years ago, he said he must have earned it, because he didn't win it because of his friendship with the writers. I guess in that way, I'm proud to be in this company that way.
