talent


Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.

- Arthur Schopenhauer

and i guess i can’t really add much to a good point. in fact, sometimes writers run the risk of making a point less by trying to unpack it. for me, the crux of it all lies in the fact that talent means little. talent creates potential. talent does not convert it.

i guess that’s where we come in. either through genius (as this arthur fellow seems to think), or simply through persistence or hard work.
