People often think that talent alone is enough to succeed in life. Just as a talented athlete should keep practicing in order to win, people in other fields should not rely on talent only either. This idea is demonstrated in the movie, The Royal Tenenbaums, where the three kids are very gifted in different aspects of life. However, as the movie proceeds and they grow up, it is revealed that none of them were able to make use of their talent. Unfortunately, this is the case for a lot of people who were not dedicated or determined enough to achieve their goals and as a result failed.
