Donald O' Clifton
1924-2003

“Inventor of Clifton Strength Finder, and recognised as the father of Strength – Based Psychology, by an American Psychological Association Presidential Commendation”

The books, defines various life psychology and aspect, to enables human to trace their "Strength", that enables them to get “Perfection” in attaining their goal. Strength is not about the physical power on posses, but it is the human attitude, and ability and their focus to get the things to accomplish.

Interestingly, I have taken the peel out of it, and noted few important aspect of human behaviour . The most important being :

TALENT 'X' INVESTMENT = STRENGTH

Talent: A natural instinct self possessed by Human, and a way of thinking, behaving. This enables human to perform their task in unique way.

Investment: As in the time and effort put in , to harness the knowledge base, practising your talent and also developing your skills.

When both of them put together and multiplied, it gives us the ultimate result in terms of

Strength: The ability to accomplish near perfect performances, and achievement all the time.

To explain the above Theory, the author have given the real life example of “Rudy Ruettiger”, the finest inspirational real life story ever had in American History. There was movie as well in name of “Rudy”.

The story is quite interesting , when “Rudy Ruettiger” who suffered from Dyslexia, defines all the odd and fulfil his dream to play football for Notre Damme high School. Not even that, he scored winning goals as well in the final to make mark in the football team. He was in the team for many days, but never get a chance, though he possesed the natural talent in him. He keep on practicing with the team , without giving up, and when he get a chance, he did the best for the team by scoring.

It taught us a very important lesson of not giving up with the your skills and talent. Every individual is blessed with some natural talent and skill by birth. If the condition is not favourable. Whatever time you get, use them in sharpening and honing your skills and talent for making it count whenever the condition get favourable. It is the attitude towards your goal that matters

Donald'o Clifton, has taken into consideration all the aspect of human behaviour , while authoring the book to make a recomended read for all. Beautifully binded, and presented,

The book enables human to find the "Strength" within themselves and to use them full in the endeaveaur. Following are the content list of the books, which I snapped from the book.

The book is usually meant for top management people in my company, to make the most of it in daily chores of Orgnaisational activity help them in decision making in tough situation.

Hopefully , I manage to share my observation of few of the pages that I came across in a short while.

I really enjoyed your brief article about the book I've never read, although I love reading!!!

As for having a talent, the author is right - everyone is granted at least one (that's what I tell my son, when he thinks that he sucks in everything). The first thing is to find out, what your talent actually is; and the second, and the main one, - to develop it instead of burying somewhere deep inside locked by uncertainty and doubt.

More people should read this kind of book at their young age to avoid the mistake of unawareness...

Wow..good work

Your article increases me curiosity to read the book, You are right every one has talent but not everyone has the same talent. Its nice to read the story when the world cup football is going on

That is an interesting read. I think talent in this one is a broad term because it covers almost everything from skills, motivation, inspiration, will and determination. I wonder if purpose is also in this one. Without purpose, you may lose focus and strength to keep going on.

Agree...👍

I agree that we all should take the time to use our talents and natural skills! I like how he states strength is the attitude and the ability to focus in order to get things accomplished. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and notes from your reading ;)
