“Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.”
— Marcus Tullius Cicero
Simplified Meaning:
Having natural talent and not much schooling has often helped people achieve great things and be good and honorable more than just having an education without natural talent. Imagine someone who is naturally good at drawing. Even if they never went to art school, their talent might still make them a famous artist because they have a gift that stands out. On the other hand, a person who goes to the best art school but lacks that natural touch may end up just being average. This quote suggests that being naturally good at something can sometimes be more important than just studying a lot. So, if you find something you're naturally good at, focus on nurturing that talent. It might take you much further than just education alone could.
