The Help That Makes You a Reference
Not every remarkable result can be explained by talent. Sometimes, someone’s outcome becomes greater than the ability everyone can see. Skill may explain what the person knows, and diligence may explain the effort invested, but neither fully explains the unusual dimension of the result.
