Understand Your Gifts and Talents
You are a very special person with many gifts and talents. Because you have many unique gifts and talents, you will also have a special inclination and passion to do some things more than others.
In order to understand your own gifts and talents, take note of the things that you like to do. What are the things you enjoy doing and never grow tired of ? In fact you get energized whilst doing them!
I have a son who, since he was a child, likes to take apart toys, clocks, machines and then putting them back.. Today, he is a senior engineer in a leading chip making company and enjoying his work tremendously.
What about you? What do you like to do?
According to a leading educationist Dr. Howard Gardner, people have multiple intelligences. Some are logical mathematical, some are linguistic, some musical, others spatial, spiritual, naturalistic, interpersonal or intrapersonal.
All these different gifts and talents (or intelligences) make you who you are. I will be pleased to help you understand your gifts.
