Very rare inspiration plus revelation @simonjones. Really, I've not just been informed, I've also been imparted.
You said :
Talent gives you a head start, but with hard work, you can accomplish your objectives.
It is very true.
Your matchstick and fuel analogy of talent and hard work drove home the point you were trying to make.
Once again, Great job @simonjones. I followed and resteemed.
