• Desde este punto de vista, obviar tus puntos fuertes y centrarte en tus debilidades no es un signo de humildad diligente. Es casi una irresponsabilidad. Por el contrario, lo más responsable, lo más desafiante y, en el sentido de ser fiel a uno mismo, lo más honorable es enfrentarse al potencial de fuerza inherente a tus talentos y luego encontrar la manera de materializarlo.

• Hay una forma segura de identificar tu mayor potencial de fuerza: Da un paso atrás y obsérvate durante un rato. Prueba una actividad y comprueba lo rápido que la aprendes, lo rápido que te saltas pasos en el aprendizaje y añades giros y trucos que aún no te han enseñado. Comprueba si te absorbe la actividad hasta tal punto que pierdes la noción del tiempo. Si después de un par de meses no te ocurre nada de esto, prueba con otra actividad y observa... y otra. Con el tiempo, tus talentos dominantes se irán revelando y podrás empezar a perfeccionarlos hasta convertirlos en una fuerza poderosa.
