Straight As might improve chances for a job but talent improves chances of a promotion.
Grant McLachlan.
“If love makes the world go around, then money greases the axles.”
“I have never met a politician who has exceeded my low expectations of them.”
“The prerequisite for a banker is Strait As and no talent.”
“I have a face for radio and a voice for writing.”
“Exceed expectations" is such a lispy term. I hope that it never infiltrates the bedroom or sport.”
“Never confuse determination with arrogance. Arrogance will look down on you, determination will run over you.”
“Hide not your talents, they for use were made,What's a sundial in the shade?”
“The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. ”
“Talent is extremely common. What is rare is the willingness to endure the life of the writer.”
