How many times have we all wondered what makes others do a task easily while we struggle at mastering it. Some friends might look at a task like it is a piece of cake to them while we are open our mouth in surprise and sit and wonder why can't I ?
I have no intention of giving a right answer right away in this first post of mine but I would like to share a thing which I have been experimenting for a while and has produced satisfying results so far. Here it is."The thing on which we spend considerable amount of time is the thing on which we will be an expert."
Well, I know I did not tell something very catchy or unique but let me try to explain why I said this.The thing on which we spend considerable amount of time per day is the thing we will be good at. As simple as that.All we need to do is measure. We just need to measure how much time will we be spending on what. We need to do this for a month. The longer the duration of measure,more accurate the results.

- Say you have spent 1 hour each day consistently in a gym working out for the past two years, then I am sure you would be having a great athletic body.
- Say you are spending 5 hours, I mean 5 quality hours every single day on the job you do at office without getting distracted by Whatsapp, Social media, News sites, E-commerce sites etc etc which do not add anything to productivity. I am sure you must be a star employee if you have satisfied this criteria.
- Say you are spending most of your lonely time thinking on negative things that might happen in future. Then I can almost be sure you would face emotional problems.
- Say you are spending the same lonely time on personal development by reading self help books or browsing good sites that might help you come out of your problems or that might motivate you or do something that keeps you happy. Then I am sure you will be liked at least by few close people, if not everyone.
