About This Quote

The gods say that a man is made the way he is for a purpose, and to seek to alter that is - "Then let the gods live a day in my skin before they judge me." The idea that people are born with gifts and talents is quite common. However, no one needs to have their talents repressed in order to be successful. One of the most famous quotes regarding this subject comes from Socrates, who said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." This is obviously true when it comes to success, but it's also true in many other areas of life. "Don't try to change your talent," he said, "but do change the way you approach the talent you were given by God."
