如何才能在某些方面超越别人，取得成功？试试下面的方法：

1. 想想你擅长什么？
   你最擅长数学？语言？棒球？和小孩子玩？还是别的什么…
2. 决定是否想在自己擅长的领域继续深入
   你想整天和数字打交道吗？想出书吗？想打职业棒球吗？想成为一个教师或者日常护理师吗？还是想别的什么…
3. 设法把这些项目融入到你的工作中
   如果必要的话，重新换一份和你想做的那些项目相关的工作。
4. 认真做好你的工作
   这不管是对你来说还是对你的老板来说，都是很重要的，也是最基础的。

1. 暂时忘记你不擅长的，日后会有时间补上的。
2. 你可能不太容易找到能锻炼你技能的工作。没关系，你可以利用自己的空余时间去做，或者加入一个有共同爱好的圈子。
3. 如果你还未成年，那么你可能只能找到类似助理，家教，照看孩子这样的工作。
4. 如果你实在想不到有什么事你擅长的，那你可以尝试新的东西。但是不要放弃本来是你擅长的事情，那样的话，你最终还是会迷失方向。

1. 不要接受一个低于你所能接受的薪水范围的工作，不管这项工作是多么小。
2. 如果你工作的主要目的是赚钱，那么这可能不太适合你，教师一般薪水不是很多，所以，如果你依旧抱着这样的目的，试着调整一下你的想法。
3. 想要比别人卓越，是需要自己去做的，一般来说，你在磨练自己的同时你自己也会得到激励，同时也会最大程度地感染别人。但是其他一些事情，例如研究，搞音乐等事情可能需要耗费很长时间而且可能不会获奖。在这种情况下，你的自信心，忍耐力得到了锻炼，这也会成为你生活中重要的财富。

How to Excel in Life

Gracefully lead a successful life in which you are admired by other people for your skills.

1. Think about what you are good at. Are you good at mathematics? English? Baseball? Playing with little kids? Counting sheep?
2. Decide whether you would like to further that area. Would you like to deal with numbers all day long? Write a book? Play major league baseball? Become a teacher or daycare helper? Put sheep...um...on walls?
3. Find a way to incorporate that subject into your job. If necessary, get a new job with more relation to that area. For example, there may not be many openings for a major league baseball star, but for a baseball coach? Go check your town's local Little League!
4. Do your job carefully and well. Your job is not busy work at all- it should be important to you and to the people employing you.

1. Forget about what you're bad at. There is time to deal with that later.
2. You might not be able to find a job that you can practice your expertise at. That's okay: you can do some of it in your spare time, or find a group of friends to do it with.
3. If you are under eighteen, you can most likely find a job as a "helper" with other businesses, be a tutor, or work in the childcare business, such as babysitting or being a mother's helper.
4. If you can't think of anything you are particularly good at, try new things. But be careful not to skip around too much; you can end up becoming directionless.

1. Do not accept a job below minimum wage, no matter how small the job is.
2. If your main goal in a job is to earn lots of money, this may not be for you. Teachers don't usually earn a lot, and Little League coaches often work for free. Take a minute to readjust your perspective and try to make doing something you like your main priority.
3. Excellence is self illuminating. Generally the activity in which you aspire excellence satisfies you maximally and appeals the others also. But sometimes activites such as sculpting, research, music, dance involve decades of grueling hard work without a reward. In such cases, your own conviction, involvment and patience matter a lot. That entails excellence in your life.
