Dear bloggie,

Tis is one thought I been pondering about for quite sometime since I heard a interview on the radio.

It seems a lot of people give up on their dreams because they realize they will never be able to break the limit of talent and pursue something else that they are gifted with instead. So...

"Is it better to pursue a career which you like but lack talent on or a career that you only so-so like but is talented in?"

It's a difficult question to answer for some people, while for others, it a straight simple easy to answer question. The conclusion of my pondering was "The is no right and wrong answer". One must perhaps walk down a road to discover either is it a dead end road or not. It's a self discovery journey I think. And everybody differs in terms of personality, hence have different wants in life. Some people need to be needed, so these people may be happier pursuing a career that they are talented in instead of like. Others may find themselves happier and more alive chasing a dream, even though if the dream is like chasing a rainbow.

Personally I think one should pursue whatever they find themselves interested in. Talent may get you to the top, but it's really attitude that will keep you on the top. Having said that, one maybe talented in something but without having interest, I doubt one is able to fully expend that talent to the fullest potential.

So, my closing point... Try... You may suffer bruises and blister chasing a dream only to realize the limit of your talents, but without walking down that road, you will never know the real limits of your talent to begin with.
