“We are told that talent creates its own opportunities. But it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents.”
Eric Hoffer 1902-1983, Author and Philosopher

“The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary.”
Thomas Edison

The great thing and the hard thing is to stick to things when you have outlived the first interest, and not yet got the second, which comes with a sort of mastery.
Janet Erskine Stuart

Aren’t these great quotes! I love the freedom they bring to become who we want to be. It’s so circular.

Even if opportunity seems on vacation, we should still develop our desires…that lead to talents…that lead to opportunity.

Thomas Edison sure had that incessantness — and aren’t we glad about that!

Oh yeah, moving into the second interest…when the first has been lost…that can be hard, but sometimes necessary. How do you do it? maybe doggedness/stubbornness/determination/not willing to give up.

Or maybe we move to a third interest and find our desires…opportunities and talents…developing in new and interesting ways.

It isn’t over yet.
