Recently, a music show introduced Canadian singer Faouzia Ouihyato a large number of Chinese fans. She is young and talented, having had a passion for music since childhood. At the age of 15, she began to shine in the music industry and quickly became popular. A young person was deeply moved and discussed this matter with a sage.
Young person: If someone has talent, they will quickly be recognized by the public and achieve success. So, when someone hasn't succeeded yet, they shouldn't blame others. Ultimately, it's because their own abilities and talents are insufficient.
Sage: You're absolutely right. But having talent alone without virtue, without the proper moral foundation, will bring suffering. It prompts people to improve their moral cultivation. Otherwise, brilliance will be short-lived and fleeting.
Young person: Then, how can one achieve both virtue and talent at the same time?
The sage: Keep oneself constantly in the awareness. Wisdom will arise, and virtue will manifest.
The young person had an epiphany and thanked the sage.
