I have always enjoyed and learned a lot from John C. Maxwell’s books. I am currently reading and listening to his book “Talent is Never Enough“. Talent can definitely give us some competitive advantage, but that is not it. There are other factors involved to being able to succeed such as self-confidence, work and alignment to a vision and/or purpose. I would like to share three insightful quotes from this book.
- “When you discover you’ve been leading only half a life. The other half is going to haunt you until you develop it” – Brooks, P – Writer of song “O Little Town of Bethlehem”.
- “Not reaching your potential is a real tragedy. To reach your potential, you must first believe in your potential and determine to live well beyond average. Believe in yourself, it’s one thing to believe that you possess remarkable potential. it’s another thing to have enough faith in yourself and you think you can fulfill it.” – Maxwell, J. in Talent is Never Enough.
- “Successful people believe in themselves, especially when others do not”. Randall, K.
