Celebrated Ghanaian actor, Media Personality, Entertainer and Communications Professional, George Nii Armah Quaye, has opined that having a superb talent alone is not enough to make it big in the entertainment world.
Speaking in an interview with Mrs. Comfort Ocran on the Springboard Hangout Show which airs on E.TV Ghana- Geroge Quaye contended a lot goes into success than a fine talent alone.
He said;
In developing yourself on the field, there are certain basic things you need to understand. I have always been someone who believes strongly that talent alone is never, ever enough. You need to work it and you need to perfect it
When I joined Charter House in 2006, one of the things that I started picking up; something that I probably didn’t even know I had, was the ability to communicate. I remember sometimes, I would go do a radio interview, I would come back and Mr. Ade would say ‘you should’ve said this… you should’ve answered this question that way’ and all that
George who recounted on these live experiences confessed that after listening to these comments from his then Group CEO, Mr. Ayoade, he realized that it is not just a gift of the gab that when he opens his mouth, the English that comes out is ‘sweet’ or that he can string words together so that they make sense.
It was a little beyond that. Communications has theories, it has fields, it has moods and even silence in itself is a mode of communication. The only way you could understand all that is through education and not from talent. That was how come in 2008/09, I went back to the University of Ghana to pursue a Masters in Communications
