प्रयास हा प्रतिभेचा प्राणवायू आहे.
“Talent is a long patience, and originality an effort of will and intense observation.”
“You cannot fake effort; talent is great, but perseverance is necessary.”
“They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort.”
Section 77
Reflections on the Human Condition (1973)
Context: They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.
