智慧書（中英雙語） · 34．了解自己的最強項

34．了解自己的最強項 了解自己的最強項，充分了解自己的天賦，培養它，會有助於其他特長的發展。假如人人都知道自己的長處，那麼，人人都能在某一領域有所建樹。分辨出自己的天賦屬於何種類型，並且加以保護。有人長於判斷，有人富有勇氣。大部分人都在粗暴地運用自己的天資，結果一無所獲。當初只是在熱情中迷失，日後醒悟過來，卻為時已晚。 34．Know your strongest point Know your strongest point－ your preeminent gift; cultivate that and you will assist the rest. Everyone would have excelled in something if he had known his strong point. Notice in what quality you surpass, and take charge of that. In some judgment excels, in others valour. Most do violence to their natural aptitude, and thus attain superiority in nothing. Time disillusionizes us too late of what first flattered the passions.
