In Response To: more questions... (dianna)

Hi Dianna,

Thanks for the kind words.

I would like to do a signing in the New England some time. I don't hear of many conventions there. If I make any plans to sign there, I will definitely post it on this board.

In terms of your concerns in Talent/Major that you mentioned:

I would suggest to you to pursue the major and the carreer that you most enjoy. Choose the one that is most personally rewarding to you. Choose what you ENJOY doing as an activity or passion, rather than what you think offers security or payment as a carreer.

When you look at it this way, it makes things quite simple.

Once you have realized what it is in life that you most enjoy doing, just make a conscious effort to persevere at fulfilling your potential at it. Do it the best that you can and constantly strive to improve and evolve. Make a decision that you will learn from each effort and use that knowledge to make your next effort better than the last.

If you enjoy something enough, you will do it constantly and you will have an internal motivation to learn about it and improve at it.

This is what has worked for me.
From my own personal experience, I don't know much about talent. But I put a lot of EFFORT into realizing my passions.

I suggest to you that DISCIPLINE, PERSERVERENCE, PRACTICE, DETERMINATION, PROBLEM SOLVING, and a drive to learn and improve, is all that is needed to fulfill your ambitions.

Some people are born with a skill (talent), and others have to work hard (and work SMART) to develope that skill. The working hard/working smart part is what has worked for me. Mostly it is the passion for learning, and the perseverence to improve.
