Working on strengths pays more than other strategies. 
We are born with many strengths, which grow as we age. We are not counting our strengths, for reasons varying from person to person. 
We have eyes, ears, nose, tongue, hands, and legs, or, in sum, physical fitness, to do what we decide to do. We have learned many things by now because of the use of mental power.
Incidentally, we have highlighted our deficiencies more than what we have been gifted. Before making any efforts to win, we declare all things before us as insurmountable. 
The bottleneck is inside us, but we blame the outside world for all the losses we have suffered so far. 
We have only partially utilised our strengths. Once we accept this harsh truth, we may develop a firm foundation to work with full force on the courses ahead. 
Nothing happens if we do not act on our dreams. Action is a must to get the desired result. A winner today was simply a dreamer yesterday. 
We want immediate results for everything we do, big or small. This is another problem. A tree takes years to bear fruit. At times, despite all care, there is no fruit. It happens. This is reality. In fact, we consider failure a complete stop in our lives. 
Moreover, we find it easy to say something in order to prove ourselves innocent, though reality is quite different and it goes against our own conscience. 
The best way to get the most out of life is to maintain discipline and integrity, apart from other virtues, in all circumstances.
