Do what you’re good at

Marti Barletta, from her “Strengths” essay in What matters now.

I worked on my weaknesses for 40 years to little avail. Still “needs improvement,” as they say. Why? Easy. We hate doing things we’re not good at, so we avoid them. No practice makes perfect hard to attain.

I, for one, can live with just doing what I’m good at!
