# Procrastination and Natural Talent



Many people say there's something called "procrastination" in this world, feeling that their execution ability isn't strong enough. But in reality, no one has strong execution in everything; everyone's execution has its own direction. For example, some people are decisive in romantic relationships—when they see someone they like, they go after them immediately and are very proactive. But if you ask them to do business, they might hesitate, look this way and that way, and can't make a decision. There are also people who, when job hunting, keep selecting and deliberating, unable to make a final decision. This actually reveals something: everyone's characteristics are different. People's innate personality, talent, and advantages are naturally varied. So what you should really do is not force yourself to become decisive in everything, but clarify two things: which tasks do you always procrastinate on, and which tasks do you almost never procrastinate on? Those things you don't procrastinate on, that feel natural to do, and that you execute with high efficiency—those are usually where your talent lies. Many people always emphasize "doing the right things." But for individuals, what's more important is: doing those things you don't procrastinate on. Because when someone does what they naturally don't procrastinate on, their efficiency is highest, their engagement is deepest, and they're most likely to achieve results. And this, quite frankly, is what we commonly call—talent.
