"People say that there are 2 great days in life. One is the day they were born. The other one is the day they discover why they were born."
John Maxwell believes that you should work on your strengths and not your weaknesses. And it applies to skills only.
He reasons that if you work on your strengths, you will excel. But not weaknesses. Because they're weak, and if you try to work hard on it, it will not be good.
For example, if you fail something and got a grade like D, you try to work on this particular weakness, and ultimately, the best you may get is only C and it's average.
Nobody loves average things. People want the best. He continues to reason: Like say you dine at a restaurant, you don't want the food to be average. You want it to be the best. It goes the same for the waiter, and the service.
So don't practise your weaknesses, but rather, improve your strengths.
Success means 3 things:
1. Knowing my purpose in life.
2. Work on strengths.
3. Knowing what you're passionate about.
So, do you think you're a successful person?
