Identify the things you are good at, your strengths, and get to work on your weaknesses.

The racing car driver Ayrton Senna, a man who inspired me greatly, is a good example.

Senna was an exceptional driver, however, initially he was terrible in wet conditions, compared to racing in the dry.

But he identified his weakness, and so every time it rained, he jumped into his car, and practiced, practiced, practiced, until he arguably became the best, wet weather driver in history."
