We can improve
ourselves in two ways: enhancing our strengths and improving on
our weakness. Which do you think is the better use of your time?
Answer: focus on your strengths. Many people instinctively work
on their shortcomings, concentrating on what they believe is holding
them back. If this is where you focus, you risk losing confidence
and gaining frustration. You're much better off managing your
weakness and putting most of your energy into your talents. To
be successful, you don't need to be good at all things. You just
have to be great at one. If Michael Jordan spent his life focusing
on improving his baseball skills, he may never have developed
into the basketball legend he has become. Avoid putting unnecessary
pressure on yourself. Don't ignore areas where you need to improve,
but spend most of your energy working on the things where you
have potential to be great.
