DEVELOP YOUR STRENGTH, NOT YOUR WEAKNESS

DEVELOP YOUR STRENGTH, NOT YOUR WEAKNESS

Develop the Talent You Have, Not the One You Want

If I asked you who would be more successful, the person

who relies on his talent alone or the person who realizes his

talent and develops it, the answer would be obvious. 

Then I’ll

ask you this question: Why do most people spend the majority

of their time focused on strengthening their weaknesses?

One thing I teach or tell people is to stop

working on their weaknesses and start working on their

strengths. (By this I mean abilities, not attitude or character

issues, which must be addressed.) 

It has been my observation

that people can increase their ability in an area by only 2 points

on a scale of 1 to 10. For example, if your natural talent in an

area is a 4, with hard work you may rise to a 6. In other words,

you can go from a little below average to a little above average.

But let’s say you find a place where you are a 7; you have the

potential to become a 9, maybe even a 10, if it’s your greatest area of strength and you work exceptionally hard.

That helps

you advance from 1 in 10,000 talent to 1 in 100,000 talent, but

only if you do the other things needed to maximize your talent.

Have a great day
