Eventually everything connects – people, ideas, objects...the quality of the connections is the key to quality per se... I don't believe in this 'gifted few' concept, just in people doing things they are really interested in doing. They have a way of getting good at whatever it is.

About This Quote

It is true that some people do have a knack for making connections. Some are better at it than others. However, the idea that “some people are better than others” is not true. Successful people are mostly successful because they are really interested in what they do. They put in the time and effort to master their craft, build strong relationships with other people who are also interested in what they do, and learn from their mistakes.
