TRADING WITH YOUR TALENT 2

Yesterday we began a topic on how to trade with our talents profitably. We highlighted some key factors that would come in handy when trading. Peradventure you were not priviledged to read the first part of this series, please check it here: (http://weinspireng.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/trading-with-your-talent.html?m=1).

This is the concluding part of the series. Enjoy!

1) Courage

Courage is the ability to encounter problem, distress, disappointment, challenge, difficulty, uncertainty, danger from what you are doing without changing course. Courageous people are warriors. David as a sheep tender faced many attacks in the wilderness, he was seen as an outcast by his immediate family yet he held on what he was configured to do. According to Eddie Rickenbacker "courage is doing what you are afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared"

2) Maturity

To be of age is not to be aged; it is not in the number of years (age). It talks about maturity. David was a teen when he got this appointment. Maturity here has nothing to do with what nature has done to you(natural growth), rather what you have done to yourself to become a better person. Your maturity will determine the way you relate with people and how well you can work in or lead a team. The length of our days on earth is not the indicator of maturity(being of age). Patience and stability which are necessary tools for successful 'trading' are products of maturity.

3) Good Communication Skills

David Jesse had a way with words. He spoke well. We must learn to speak well too.This is what we call communication skill in this age.We need to improve on our communication skills, if it is not important it won't be an item on our resumes.

4) Good Appearance

David was attractive. He paid attention on his appearance and we should emulate that as well. Our appearances determine our acceptability. It is on record that Joseph, the first Prime Minister of Egypt shaved himself and changed his clothes before appearing in the presence of Pharaoh to display his gift. People are moved first by the outward appearance.

5) Divine Presence

This perhaps is the most important factor. It crowns the previously-mentioned factors with outstanding success. The presence of the Most High God is the single determinant that swings success our way. We must therefore do whatever we can to get His abiding presence. Think about these!

Have a blessed day!!!
