ABILITY- see how it makes one excel in life via career success

Having seen the Natural inclination and its power to make one excel in life via career success when recognized and embraced by an individual concerned, ABILITY is also an essential factor that needs to work in harmony with natural inclination to successfully bring an individual into his natural environment for excellence.

Ability according to the American Heritage (R) dictionary of English 4^th edition is defined as |”the quality of being able to do something, especially the physical, mental, financial or the legal power to accomplish something”. It also says it is a natural or acquired skill or talent”.

The GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English defines it as “the quality or state of being able; power to perform, whether physical, moral, intellectual, conventional, or legal, capacity; skill or competence in doing; sufficiency of strength , skill, resources etc”.

Then the Century Dictionary and Encyclopedia defines it as the state or condition of being able; power or capacity to do or act in any relation; competence in any occupation or field of action from the possession of capacity, skill, means, or other qualification”.

In view of the above, a student for example who desires to study Engineering needs look at his performances in Mathematics, physics and chemistry and see from his performance if he is able or need to make some adjustments. Likewise a student who wishes to study any course of his interest equally needs to look at his performances in the relevant subjects that the course demands and see if he is able or need make some changes, otherwise one may end up biting off more than one can chew and that’s a problem. To some extent, it is also advisable to pay attention to ability in one recognized by others which one may not know or despise, that is capable of making stand out and sure earns one a living.

In summary, if one is still not clear of one’s ability or confused with multiple abilities found in oneself, I recommend one meets a professional guidance counselor for proper guidance and direction.
