Talent is like a key and also like a diverse window of opportunities. Just because you have the key, doesn't mean you get to walk through the door and that is the tricky thing.
You could say, I have talent, I am what everyone wants but trust me it can never be enough. You have it doesn't mean other people don't and they could be more willing than you are.
Talent is like a plant, for it to grow you have to expose it to sunlight and feed it the required amount of nutrients it deserves. If you ignore that plant because you feel the plant is beautiful, rare and for that, it can take care of itself, that plant will die and all you will be left with is the charred remains of what could be made beautiful.
Talent dies! Let that sink in!
