Fortune - Your natural talent is your Greatest Fortune

Knowing your calling in life, your passion, your purpose and especially your natural talent is truly your greatest fortune.  Only a handful of people realize their gift early on in life, for most of us it's a journey.  We are all born with a gift, whether it be music, mathematics, athletics or even words to name a few. That's where 'do what you love' stems from because it's what feels right.

"The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today" Tiger Woods - an excellent example of someone who realized their gift early in life, sounds like wise words for us all, just like a Chinese Proverb, in time for the Lunar New Year.

"A nations treasures is in its scholars" being a scholar does not mean you are only learning an academic topic. A student can be described as a learner especially one enrolled in a school or college whereas a scholar denotes a learned person with profound knowledge of any specific subject.

Catch your inspiration by the tail just like Ruth Stone told Elizabeth Gilbert many years ago - and hold on with all your might!  

We are all born with a gift and you have one within you.

Chinese Proverb that holds true for all of us: "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand."
