the talent of hard work

When I was young, I always feel that I am maybe someone special,unique. Those that can evolve with a certain limit break, something akin to those anime in which the protoganist can suddenly go over his limit just by intense concentration, or "resolve". Maybe not special or unique, but at least not common.

Then, as you grow up and meet people, you will be humbled. To the extent when you feel that you are as common as common can go. Just like a grain of sand on the beach, or a single blade of grass in a field. And the only way to become a shinier pebble on the beach, or a taller tree in the forest, is to put in more hard work than the rest. So as to be on comparison with the higher tiers of humans.
