Finding your strengths!

Recently I am reading a book called ‘Strenths Finder 2.0′. Basically this book is helping you to find the opportunity to do what you do best everyday.

From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more of our times to fixing our shortcomings than to developing our strengths. To help people uncover their talents, this book, along with a 177 questions test, help you to discover your top 5 talents.

I love this book, because after I read my own 5 talents, I know it is truely me!

For example, one of my talents is ‘Activator’, Jim L, an entrepreneur, who holds the same talents said:

I want to know what I am going to hit the wall, and I need you to tell me how much it is going to hurt. But if I choose to bump into the wall anyway, then don’t worry–you’ve done your job. I just had to experience it for myself.

That’s exactly how I feel now. In order to make things happen, we need to turn thoughts into action. Sometimes, mistake is the quickest way to learn. It doesn’t mean I want to make mistake, but if you don’t try, you never know if it is right or wrong. So when we are young, don’t be afraid of mistakes. Embraces mistake and grow to the maxium of your potentials.
