Know your strongest point-your preeminent gift; cultivate that and you will assist the rest. Everyone would have excelled in something if he had known his strong point. Notice in what quality you surpass, and take charge of that. In some judment excels, in others valour. Most do violence to their natural aptitude, and thus attain superiority in nothing. Time disillusionizes us too late of what first flattered the passions.

了解你的最强点——你的卓越天赋；培养它，会有助于其他特长发展。如果每个人都知道自己的强项，那么每个人都会在某方面出类拔萃。注意你在哪些方面优于他人，并掌控它们。在有些方面以判断力取胜，在另一些方面以勇气取胜。大多数人违背了自己的天赋，因此一事无成。当初只是在热情中迷失，日后醒悟过来，却为时已晚。
