Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We can be lousy at one hundred things, but we need to be supergood at only one thing to be successful, be it singing, cooking, engineering, teaching, doctoring, lawyering, or soccering…

But so many people are so insecure that they spend all day worrying about the long list of their weaknesses – I am not good in English, public speaking, math, management, dieting, staying calm, socializing, footballing, teamwork, customer supporting, writing, logic, blah blah blah…

Come on, guys! Everyone is the same – good in one or two things, and not good in hundreds of things?

Why do you fret about that? Why are you so unconfident in yourself?

If you want to be an accountant working for a big multinational company, then focus on learning accounting and English, really focusing, then you will be an accountant for a multinational company some day.

Spending time fretting about your weaknesses is a dumb way to spend time – (1) you waste your time fretting, instead of focusing on learning, and (2) you drag yourself down, instead of standing tall and feeling positive about yourself.

The point is simple: Focus on learning one or two things very well and ignore all other things.

Once in awhile you may want to spend some time for some other things, just to have some more knowledge, or just for fun. But other things are secondary.

Your primary goal is to focus on one or two things so intensely that one day you will be the master in what you focus.

And that is a great beginning for huge success in life.

With compassion,
