About the Quote
We all have talents. What they are is up to us to discover. It's also up to each of us to discover how much of those talents we were given.
Even if we were given a little bit of some talent (arts, sports, academics, etc.), we can work to become better at that talent. It's how people advance in skills and in abilities.
Whatever we do, our attitude, our mental approach determines how well we use that talent and how far we can go. Consider sports: The proper attitude and mental attutude is the difference between an average athlete and a superior one, between an All-Star and a Champion, between an elite player and a Hall of Fame player.
TMA-- talent, motivation, attitude-- determine how far we can go with whatever talent we've been given.
