The information we are given forms our belief system. How we act is determined by what we believe. What we do determines who we become. 

Being gifted & skillful is great. However, having a good character is one of the major requirement needed for a long term success.

Being weak is not a bad thing; it's only an indication that we need help. We must first admit that we are weak, in order to take advantage of God's strength.

Our gifts are not meant for us. God gave them to us for a purpose. We are to use them to glorify God and to serve others.
