什么是人才？

Being confident alone isn't enough—having nothing but confidence is just delusional optimism.

True talent comes from maintaining confidence while simultaneously making steady, incremental progress in small, manageable steps.

For most people, is the biggest problem in life a lack of money? Or a lack of talent?
No—it's that they don't understand the most important thing in life, or rather, the first step is always to improve yourself.
You have to become someone who truly knows what's going on.
Before any soldier seizes an opportunity in battle, the first step is always rigorous training—otherwise, they're just walking into certain defeat.
Look at the vast majority of people throughout their lives, and no matter how many opportunities they encounter, it makes no difference—they always lack the ability. When the Nth opportunity arrives, they're still not capable. If you can't even shoot, what are you doing on the battlefield? If you couldn't do it at 20, you still won't be able to at 30.
People are all too eager to grasp at something, terrified of losing something, yet they never spend a single second learning to handle a weapon.
