Thanks for the good post!

I'm reading "Grit" right now, and it gets into this topic.

talent x effort = skill
skill x effort = acheivement

It's hard to put a lot of effort into something when you're not passionate about the subject. One of my greatest strengths is grit. I do not give up easily. If I say I'm going to do something, I do it too.

I also have natural talents that work well for being a private investigator, and my primary passion is residential security (related to the same strengths).
