What are you Good at ? Holding out for a hero ?

The writer, Neil Humphreys wrote this article " Holding out for a hero" on 10 Oct 09 for ST Life! He wrote these interesting article by starting phrases as below :

" I can't give first aid, change a light bulb or install a phone line but I can write about them".
Just a brief summary, I have extracted from his article, the story goes:
A young woman was taken ill suddenly in his office and he was the guy who waited for the ambulance guys to show and direct them to the patient. He had witnessed the paramedic finished treating his colleague and gently helped to her feet. Quoting from the articles:
" Thanks for everything." I gushed, opening the door. "You were great, just great. Is there anything I can do ?" The paramedic looked me up and down. "No, there 's nothing you can do."

Well, the paramedic was really wrong, and Neil is great. He took the whole incident in such positive stride and wrote the above article. Isn't it great, he is able to find his happiness and worthiness from his job as a columnist.

Bernard Haldane, a pioneer in career counseling, died at the age of 95. One of his core beliefs was that most people who don’t like their career are unhappy because they’re not using their best abilities. I think this is a good example.

Everyone in this world is good at something. All we need to do is to find out that ‘thing’.
