Talent without good choices is a sports car with no steering wheel.

Raw ability determines how fast you can go and nothing about where you end up. Without judgment about what to work on, who to be around and what to refuse, capability just increases the speed at which you arrive somewhere you did not intend. Direction is a separate skill from power, and it is the one that gets neglected.

Spend some of your attention on the choosing rather than all of it on the doing. Once a month, look at whether the thing you are good at is pointed anywhere you want to be. Small corrections early are worth enormous amounts later.
