“There is one sure way to identify your greatest potential for strength: Step back and watch yourself for a while. Try an activity and see how quickly you pick it up, how quickly you skip steps in the learning and add twists and kinks you haven't been taught yet.

Over time your dominant talents will reveal themselves, and you can start to refine them into a powerful strength.”
