Because of our unique attributes and skills, we’re well suited for some tasks and poorly suited for others. The genius composer may not have much skill with home improvement. The Olympic runner may not be the best swimmer. Philosophy grads typically have trouble understanding fashion trends.
The things we do especially well we can do because we’ve certain gifts and have made efforts at improving ourselves, making ourselves better, and so it’s vital to remember these words by Steve Prefontaine:
“To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.”
