"Finding Your Passion Changes Everything." Sir Ken Robinson.
This quotation by Sir Ken Robinson says it all that regardless who we are, what is our age, whichever background we're from, in order for us to prosper in life what we need is finding our passion, our life will start to change for better. Most importantly, we will feel good and not miserable.
In most cases, it seems normal for us to put more focus on our weakness, seemingly if we don't deal with our weakness, it will hindrance our overall performance, therefore improve on the areas of weaknesses make sense.
BUT the question is why should we need to be an all rounder? i.e. be good in everything!
As according to Sir Ken Robinson, in his book The Element, he stresses that emphasizing on our strenghts and passionately doing what we are good at, we tend to face obstacles with positive thinking and we will handle difficulties with determination and enthusiasm.
There is a management guru, Michael Portel, in his book Competitive Advantage, he mentions that in order to withstand your position in the ever changing business environment, what we need to do is to compete with our strenths and comperative advantages.
Some obvious examples would be in world of sports, all the sportmen are focusing into one or two areas of their game, i.e. Soccer players only compete in football in certain positions, basketball players only compete in basketball with certain roles, motor cyclists only compete in motorcycling.
Of course, everyone can play any sorts of sport, BUT the question is in whether you want to be an amatuer or a master.
BE AWARE: MASTER PLAYER EARN MANY TIMES MORE THAN AN ORDINALLY PLAYER. SPECIALLIST EARN MANY TIMES MORE THAN A ORDINALLY PRACTICIAN.
If you are a Master Player or a Specialist, you're playing with Blue Ocean Strategy; however, if you are an amatuer or a generalist, you're playing in a fierceful competition environment and living in red ocean whereby you need to let go your profit for survival.
