good comments liara...that made me think of another book i once read. it was called "work with passion". it helped you figure out what you REALLY wanted to do with your life.

i remember one exercise from the book told you to think back to when you were a little child and recall what things you enjoyed doing. if you couldnt remember, ask parents, relatives, etc, if they remember. that would likely be a good indication of what your true talent/desires are.

when i was little i grew-up on a farm. i would go out and teach the cows and chickens their ABCs and how to count. to this day, my ability to work with others (especailly difficult people) and communicate/teach challenging concepts is one of my greatest strengths. i have a picture of the time we were all dressed up to go to church and i wanted to go out and teach the chickens but my mother wouldnt let me, she quickly ran to feed them before church leaving me behind. i was standing on a chair pounding on the window until not realizing my own strenth i broke the window, and ended up getting a small scar on my hand which i can still see. i was only 2 1/2 years old, but that was alot of passion!
