Every man has his area of excellence
By: N. George
Worth Noting:
- The best sportsperson in the school is not necessarily the best student in academics. Among the sportspersons being the best cricketer does not make someone the best athlete. In academics you may find many scientists not performing well in languages or humanities the same happens to the linguists they may not be good in technical subjects.
- In the church the most accomplished priest is not necessarily the best choirmaster or instrumentalist. A similar case applies to the instrumentalists not all of them are even able to rhythmically sing some are limited to playing the instruments.
The same man cannot well be skilled in everything; each has his special excellence.…….. Euripides.
The sculptor you see may be spending most of his time carving and painting but is not talkative at all despite his works rousing emotions of many. He could be a keen listener yet his expressions are through carving, painting and drawings rather than oral. Much as such circumstances do not happen to all people they do to many people.
In a football match you will realise that every player is assigned a position to play. Being suitable in a certain position does not mean that a player can play any other position comfortably for example if one is a goalkeeper he deals with opponents strikers but that does not make him a good striker, the same case applies to the rest of the players being a defender does not mean you are a great midfielder, striker or goalkeeper. You may even find a left hand side defender who is not effective if placed to play in the right hand side at the same time you may come across a respected coach or referee who has never been a player.
The cheerleader who never miss any game and is famous for his entertaining skills does not mean that he is superior in play than the opposition players his domain may be restricted to cheering his team and not actual playing in the field.

It does not mean the landlord of the most beautiful house in the estate is one of the best architectures or interior designers around rather he is a smart investor who is able hire the best architectures and interior designers around so as to realise a strong and beautiful structure.
Some car drivers happen to double as mechanics. Their ability to multifunction puts them at an advantage as they are able to offer most of the remedies to their cars but that does not necessarily indicate that they are good at panel beating.
Being an owner of a media house does not translate to you attracting audience as their news anchor or producing programs. You may be good at identifying which topics are loved by masses and who are the best presenters to host those shows but you may fail miserably if you try to host them as the public has its preferences.
The opposition leader who attracts masses whenever he criticizes those in government may be right in reference to what he is sharing as his grievances about but being vocal and critical does not make him the best administrator. You may put him in charge only to perform worse than his predecessor who he was fond of criticizing.
