This quote shows us that while having talent is a great gift, it’s not the only thing needed for long-term success. Talent can help you shine quickly—it may even grab the attention of others right away. But just being talented isn’t enough to stay ahead. The people who succeed in the long run are the ones who keep showing up, doing the work again and again, even when no one is watching or cheering.

Take the example of a student who is good at drawing. At first, everyone is amazed by their natural talent. But if the student stops practicing, others may soon catch up or even move ahead. Now think of another student who may not be as naturally gifted, but practices drawing every single day. Over time, their work improves so much that people start to notice and remember them more. Their effort becomes something that no one can ignore.

This is what it means to be “undeniable”—to work with such passion and consistency that your progress becomes impossible to overlook. Being remembered for your effort and growth leaves a stronger mark than just being noticed once for your talent.
