FINDING WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT!
STYRON’S INTRODUCTION
I often hear people say I have not found my passion. Here is some excellent advice: “The best thing you can do is to be exceptionally good at something,” Warren Buffett.
DISCOVERING A CAREER IN WHICH I COULD EXCEL!
I returned to college to earn an engineering degree after discovering I had little passion for working in the options my first degree provided. After graduating and getting a job, I still did not know what my career path should look like.
My third job was when I discovered a career I could become exceptionally good at – Environmental, Health, and Safety (today, they add Sustainability to the mix). This field is about one thing I do have a passion for Protecting Life. I worked to build my competencies and discovered my natural curiosity and rules-based personality made this a natural fit. I continued training to keep improving, aiming to become an executive leader. I desired to be exceptionally good. I will let others evaluate if I was successful.
WHEN MR. BUFFETT SPEAKS; I LISTEN!
“During the company’s annual shareholders meeting earlier this year, a shareholder asked Buffett for advice on what to invest in during inflation.
“The best thing you can do is to be exceptionally good at something,” said Buffett. He added, “Whatever abilities you have can’t be taken away. They can’t be inflated away from you. … So the best investment by far is anything that develops yourself, and it’s not taxed at all.”
INVESTING IN YOURSELF!
“Investing goes beyond making money choices. “Investing in yourself is the best thing you can do,” Buffett stated in another interview. “Anything that improves your talents.” The key to Buffett’s counsel is not chasing after developing skills or talents in areas or interests that don’t serve you well. As Buffett has alluded, you don’t need extraordinary effort to achieve extraordinary results. You need to do the ordinary, everyday things exceptionally well.
So many of us pursue grandiose ideas and spend endless hours and money that we don’t have dedicated to efforts that yield no return. To Buffett, true success comes from focusing on those steady and consistent day-to-day actions that pave the way to long-term results.
The legendary investor also warns that one must know what worthy goals to pursue instead of joining the rat race in hopes of a get-rich-quick scheme. “Figure out what makes you good and what you naturally bring to the game,” Buffett told the shareholder. “I could have spent 10,000 hours trying to become a heavyweight boxer. I don’t think I’d do very good at the end of the 10,000 hours. You stumble into what you like doing, what you’re good at, what’s useful to society.”
