These days there are a lot of talks about people’s inborn abilities. Great speakers stress the fact that everybody has a lot of potential which if put into action could bring incredible results.
It may be hard for a person to believe in himself or herself, especially if one comes from a humble background. But the truth is that your success should not be tied to your academic
performance or childhood experiences. The fact that you don’t do well in your class work can not be used to fully declare you a failure in life. Remember that there are so many success stories that were born away from classrooms. All you need to do is to identify your inner abilities and put them into action.
Unfortunately, many people waste their time just imitating others, and never get around to finding their own talents. I’ve also met people with more than four undergraduate degrees, who end up practicing just one profession; it means that they have been trying to locate their happiness. You will only find satisfaction when you discover your inborn potential. Once you’ve found it, acting to realize it becomes relatively easy.
現在，很多人都在議論有關人們與生俱來的才能的問題。偉大的演講家都在強調這樣一個事實：人人都有許多的潛能，這些潛能一旦被轉化為行動將會產生令人難以置信的結果。
要讓一個人完全信任自己不是件容易的事，尤其是當他來自卑微的環(huán)境時。但事實是一個人的成功往往不是和他的課堂表現或者童年的經歷聯系在一起的。功課不好的事實，不能用來全盤證明你是生活中的失敗者。請記住，有很多成功的故事都是發(fā)生在課堂之外的。你所需要做的只是認識到自己的潛能，并將其付諸行動。
不幸的是，很多人都在碌碌無為地模仿他人，卻不抽出時間來發(fā)現自己的長處。我遇到過許多持有四個學位證書的人，他們后也只從事一個行業(yè)的工作；這意味著他們一直試圖給自己的快樂定位。只有當你發(fā)現自己的潛能時，你才會有滿足感。一旦你發(fā)現了它，而將它轉化為現實行動，相對而言，就變得簡單起來。
