People are capable of growth; those without it are merely tools.

Talent is the key asset—specifically, the kind of person who possesses growth potential. Without it, you're just a tool used for a specific phase.

Only by finding what you're good at will your odds of winning exceed others'; only by finding what you love can you persist with ease. Then, focus on that and advance iteratively, gradually amplifying it until you ultimately break free from the bonds of fate—that is growth.
