Everyone has some strengths even if you may not feel smart or talented. Maybe you're good at listening, organizing, or staying calm under pressure.

Build on what you already do well.

If you're not "smart," become resourceful. Intelligence isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about knowing where to look for answers.

Talent is overrated when compared to persistence. Consistently putting in effort every day—whether it's learning a skill, solving a problem, or working on a project—will compound over time.
