I'm not entirely sure that building on your strengths is the key factor though. As far as I know, there's no evidence that working on strengths lead to any more success than working on weaknesses, but only that you will enjoy the process more. Jon Haidt (professor at U of Virginia) did an unpublished study on this. He's a big name in positive psych, which has been a big factor in the recent popularization of 'building your strengths'. Not really contradicting you here, but I guess I just want to point out the following: If you have a burning desire to do something, but no talent for it, doesn't mean you can't be just as successful. But I could be wrong :) (Great blog, by the way!) Great post. I’m not entirely sure that building on your strengths is the key factor though.
