You Can’t Be Great at Something You’re Not Good At

As you work this week, think about these three statements:

starnite1. Working hard at what comes hard leads to mediocrity.

2. Working easy at what comes hard leads to unemployment.

3. Working hard at what comes easy leads to amazement.

You will never be great at something you’re not wired to do well. You might be good, you might even be better than average. But why waste your life trying to be great at something you’re only good at?

While you can be really good at many things, you can only be great at a very few things. Find out what those things are. How do you do that? Here’s a hint. If it’s a thing that’s hard for others but easy for you, it’s a strength. Use it. Work hard at it and you’ll make something special of your work life.
