“Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.” -Calvin Coolidge
I’ve said it to people. I’ve had people say it me…
You’re a waste of talent.
It’s the kind of statement that might make you think. Nobody wants to be a waste.
When I think of waste, I think of poor choices, laziness, and ungratefulness. I’d be OK with not being a waste.
But, the paradox is that it’s also a compliment. It means that you have talent to begin with. Talent that others recognize.
But, how do you know if you’re a waste of talent?
