Stephen M.R. Covey Quote

One thing to be careful of with regard to skills is what author Jim Collins calls the curse of competence. It’s the idea that sometimes we become good at doing something we’re not really talented in or passionate about. As my father often says, Your current skill-set may or may not correspond with your natural talents. We need to make certain that the skills we develop don’t limit or define us. At the end of the day, talent provides a deeper well than skills.
