Discuss the quotes in pairs or groups. Try to paraphrase the implied advice within each statement:

1. Never confuse the size of your pay cheque with the size of your talent.

2. A hidden talent is like a sundial in the shade.

3. Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to go forward, backwards, or sideways.

4. Shallow people believe in luck; strong people believe in cause and effect.
