“Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.”
— Marcus Tullius Cicero
Simplified Meaning:
In life, having talent or a natural gift can often lead someone to achieve great things, even if they don’t have a lot of formal schooling. For example, a person who is naturally good at drawing might become a famous artist even if they never went to art school. On the other hand, someone who studies a lot but doesn’t have a natural talent for art might not achieve the same level of success. This idea shows that while education is important, natural ability can play a bigger role in achieving excellence. If you have a natural talent, it's important to recognize it and let it guide you, but adding education can enhance your abilities even more. This teaches us to find our strengths and develop them, using both our natural skills and any learning opportunities we can get.
