Sydney Smith: Whatever you are from nature, keep to it; never desert your own line of talent…

Whatever you are from nature, keep to it; never desert your own line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed; be anything else, and you will be ten thousand times worse than nothing!

In today’s wordsWhatever your natural gifts are, stick with them; never abandon your own line of talent. Be what nature intended and you'll succeed; be anything else and you'll be ten thousand times worse than nothing!
