Focus on our strengths

“Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.” - Jordan Peterson.

We have a choice to focus on our weaknesses and try to attain some diminishing returns, or step back and see our strengths and double down on those. It makes sense that if we are athletically inclined, we should leverage that to the best of our ability as trying to force ourselves to be academics would not be in our own best interest. However, knowing what we should do, and then doing it are two separate notions that are linked by the concept of wisdom.
