Simplified Meaning:
Talent and brilliance come naturally; you can't buy them with money. Imagine a child who is amazing at painting. This skill comes from within them and can't be purchased. Even if you give them all the art supplies and classes, their natural ability is what makes them exceptional. Similarly, historic geniuses like Mozart or Einstein had an inborn gift for music and science that money couldn't create. This means that someone's true talent is part of who they are. To apply this to your life, focus on nurturing and developing your natural strengths rather than relying on external resources to become great.
