"The first thing they were told was how to hone their talent. Then they were told how to market their talent, discipline their talent and type their talent. And then they were told they might as well forget about talent"
- Esther B. Fein
About this Quote
This quote by Esther B. Fein highlights the harsh reality of the imaginative market. It suggests that individuals are often taught how to enhance and showcase their skills, but are ultimately informed that their talent alone is insufficient to prosper. The focus on developing, marketing, disciplining, and typing one's talent indicates that there is a formula for success in the creative world, and that skill alone is not enough. The final statement, "they may also forget talent," is a sobering suggestion that even with all the needed skills and knowledge, success is not ensured. It speaks with the competitive and aggressive nature of the imaginative market, where skill alone is not enough to make it to the top.
