A strength is what you do that makes you feel strengthened.

Talent is the multiplier. The more energy and attention you invest in it, the greater the yield. The time you spend with your best is, quite simply, your most productive time.

Clarity is the preoccupation of the effective leader. If you do nothing else as a leader, be clear.

Focusing on strengths is the surest way to greater job satisfaction, team performance and organizational excellence.

Strengths are not activities you're good at, they're activities that strengthen you. A strength is an activity that before you're doing it you look forward to doing it; while you're doing it, time goes by quickly and you can concentrate; after you've done it, it seems to fulfill a need of yours.

True individuality can be lonely.

You shouldn't take pride in your natural talents any more than you should take pride in your sex, your race or color of your hair
