This can be very damaging and may prevent us from finding more meaningful ways to be happy. I’m perfectly happy regretting the five-hour conversation we didn’t have rather than one we actually had that I didn’t want. And I was chatting to this woman next to me and asked her what she did. And she said, she’s an accountant. My point is we all have natural talents. They’re all different, but many people never discover them.

And as much as you’re unique, don’t forget that there are always at least a few other people out there who share your passion and love. Robinson and Aronica call these people “your tribe.” The search for your element is a two-way journey: an inward journey to explore what lies within you and an outward journey to explore opportunities in the world around you.First, nobody shares the same genetic structure with you, even if you have an identical twin.

A few months? A year? Maybe two? Sir Ken Robinson, PhD, is an internationally recognized leader in the development of creativity, innovation, and human potential.
