Identify your unique strengths and use them to succeed on your own terms
from Barking Up the Wrong Tree: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Success Is (Mostly) Wrong by Eric Barker
How to Apply This
-
Know who you are and create a path that suits your strengths and weaknesses
Ask yourself, “What am I good at that consistently produces desired results?” After you’ve completed a task, review your work and write down what you did well and what you could do better. After several tasks, you’ll have enough information to identify your strengths and weaknesses. -
Select an environment that maximizes your strengths
Once you know your strengths and want to identify the right path, ask yourself “Which companies, institutions, or situations appreciate the strengths I have?” Choose an environment where you can best leverage your personality and strengths to create incredible value. -
Create the right environment for your child to thrive
If you have a child that has a unique personality, accept and support them as they are instead of forcing them to become like other kids. Provide moral and material support to help them fully embrace their unique strengths.
