I have
many friends who are engineers. They have been asked, on occasion, to tweak
their designs to exceed the limits physics has imposed. Sometimes they can
innovate and stretch the capabilities of their devices, but ultimately the laws
of physics will prevail.
The Laws
of Physics seems to apply to human abilities. The “normal curve” postulates
that we reside somewhere from low to high in the myriad of abilities we have.
It shows few on each end and a bulge in the middle. If you look at where you
are on the curve in each of your abilities, you will begin to see your
strengths and weaknesses.
All
successful people love what they do, so it is imperative for you to figure out
what you love.
If you are
a gifted athlete, you need to decide whether or not you are good enough and
enjoy your sport enough to go for a career in it. The same is true if you are a
gifted musician or singer or actor or cartoonist or teacher or doctor or nurse.
If you are
curious about engineering or business as I was, you will find your passion in
manufacturing things in the private sector.
If you
don’t know what you would like to do, take the Strong Campbell Interest Test or
the Kuder Occupational Interest Survey at your school or on line.
The Laws
of Human Behavior are as sturdy and complex as the Laws of Physics or the Laws
of Economics and they need to be used in determining your vocation.
