The one thing that I appear to have been given, bearing in mind that I am capable of being very, very scatty and extremely lazy, is the ability to concentrate on something I choose to give my time to.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset.
I was born with an ability to concentrate very hard on a job for a long time.
The difficulties which I meet with in order to realize my existence are precisely what awaken and mobilize my activities, my capacities.
I always felt that my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability.
I'm fundamentally a busy person; I spend my time doing useful things and profoundly useless things!
Being by the nature of my upbringing, all my energies having been directed to one channel of activity, crippled from other activities and made helpless even to live.
I think of myself as something of a connoisseur of procrastination, creative and dogged in my approach to not getting things done.
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
Ambition drives you on, ability certainly helps, but the fickle finger of fate and luck are great things.
It is in my nature to give the work I have all the discipline and due diligence that I am capable of.
