"人们试图出类拔萃、拥有梦想、想做事情时,才能和技能的区分是最容易被误解的概念之一。天赋是你天生具有的。技能只能通过一遍又一遍地努力才能培养出来。"

Simplified Meaning:

Some people think talent and skill are the same, but they are very different. Talent is something you are born with; it’s a natural ability. For example, some people might have a talent for singing because they have a good voice from a young age. However, skill is something you develop through practice. Even if you have a good voice, you have to practice singing for many hours to become a great singer. This means working hard every day, learning new techniques, and constantly improving. To succeed in anything—whether it's sports, music, or any other field—it’s not enough to just rely on your talent. You must also put in the hard work to turn that talent into a skill. So, if you have a dream, don’t be discouraged if you don’t see progress right away. Understand that it takes a lot of time and effort to get really good at something. For example, a famous basketball player may have had a talent for the sport, but they also spent countless hours practicing on the court to become one of the best.
