Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes 186. Today,  the quote is by

Adverbs of manner

Stephen King he's an American author probably the most famous American author

in our modern times today.  Of course,  he started off writing a lot

of horror books,  but he really branched into many areas, and  he's probably the most

well known modern-day writer. That's still alive. Okay.

Anyway. Let's continue. Let's look at his quote. Here's the quote. " Talent is cheaper

than table, "salt And table salt, of course is supposed to be very cheap. "What separates

the talented from the successful one is a lot of hard work. " Okay.

Let's look at the note here. What Stephen King is trying to say is that even

though talent is great and it is surely an advantage over others who are not so

talented , it cannot lead to success by itself. Without a strong work ethic or

determination,  many of us will fall short of our expectations.

There are many who were born with great talents that never become fruitful. So

they never produce anything. Never really become that successful. This idea is

similar with Thomas Edison's quote " Genius is 1% inspiration and 99%

perspiration. " Yeah this was an earlier quote.  I did quite a while ago. Again

remember, his,  his point is that the inspiration is the idea that you come up

with , but it's really the perspiration represented sweat. Which represented hard

work. So it's right along the same line.  Okay. Let's continue. In life many people

like to use talent of others as an excuse as to why those few are

successful and they are not. Not realizing that talent must also be

backed up by effort and determination. Yeah. So again the talent

can't do it by itself. It has to be supported, It  has to be backed up by effort

and determination. Sometimes hard work can even make up for a lack of talent.

Not completely , but it can help. More hard work sometimes can overcome some lack of

talent. Okay.  Anyway I hope it's clear.  I hope you got it.  I hope you enjoyed it.
