“One is born with a unique set of talents and abilities. One must choose which of those talents to nurture, which to ignore completely.
Sometimes the choice is obvious. Other times, the hints and proddings are more obscure. Then, one may need to undergo several regiments of training and sample several different professions before determining where one's strongest talents lie. This is the driving force behind many life-path alterations,
There are few sets of skills that match only one specific job. More often they are are adaptable to many different professions. Sometimes, one can plan such a change. Other times, the change appears without warning.
In both instances, one must be alert and carefully consider all options. Not very change is a step forward.”
