It is quite well said since centuries that 'do what you do best'. However the main question for people of this age is to know what they can do best? Under highly competitive conditions and availability of knowledge every one is almost expert in every thing. Still one can notice that people who were able to pinpoint their 'best skills' became highly successfull through utilizing those skills.
Unfortunately most of us either cannot locate the skill we do best or we have to ignore this discovery in order to stick to what we have been doing or what we need to do for everyday life. As a result we end up being utilized below our potential or simply doing something we never intended to do.
There are many behaviour tests or aptitude tests one can use to understand himself/herself. One of them is 'compass' test as described by Paul H Brisk in his book, 'Creating Your CV as a self marketing tool'.
The book is wonderful guide for all those who are either embarking on their career or intend to search new waters. Knowing your traits right is first step but equally important is going in right direction with patience.
