In
their latest book, Milo and Thuy Sindell discuss how people tend to either
focus on eliminating their weaknesses (often a fruitless endeavor) or rely on
their more obvious strengths almost entirely (so much so that they become a
crutch) instead of developing their latent strengths. These latent strengths
are ones that the individual demonstrates some aptitude for and have great
potential for development into legitimate dominant strengths. By focusing on
such strengths, individuals will add to their personal strengths inventory and
expand their skill set even further.
Many of us have secondary strengths and most times, those
strengths remain unknown to most others. Here are five famous people with
skills you didn't know that they had:
1. Geena Davis: She is an Oscar-winning actress
with countless other accolades that testify to her acting skills. What most
people don't know is that she is a card-carrying MENSA member and was a
semi-finalist for the U.S. Olympic Archery team in 1999. She was ranked in the
top 32 archers in the country at the time.
2. Paul Revere: He is a well-known patriot who
played a pivotal rule in fighting the British, but he was also a skilled
dentist. In fact, he was able to identify the body of Major General Joseph
Warren based on the fact that he could identify the dental prosthetic the
general wore at the time of his death. This was the first instance in US
history where a member of the military was identified through forensic
dentistry (now a vital science).
3. Jimmy Stewart: He was a much-beloved star who
still regularly appears in reruns almost every week. Stewart was an incredibly
successful film star with an Oscar under his belt when World War II broke out.
What most people don't know about is the fact that he not only enlisted with
the military but took part in several high-risk missions and earned two
Distinguished Flying Crosses. He was also considered an exemplary military
leader and achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. After the war ended,
Stewart continued in the military and was promoted to Brigadier General. In
1985, he was presented with the Medal of Freedom and the rank of Major General
by President Ronald Reagan.
4. Gerald Ford: We all know him as the former
President but few know that if it wasn't for politics, Ford may have had an
equally illustrious career in the NFL. He played football while at the
University of Michigan and earned three varsity letters in the years between 1932
and 1934 (in '32 and '33 Michigan went undefeated all the way to the
championships because of his skills). He even earned the MVP title in the
Wolverines' disappointing year in 1934. Both the Green Bay Packers and Detroit
Lions expressed interest in Ford but instead he went to get his law degree at
Yale and get into politics.
5. Emperor Hirohito: The 124th Emperor of Japan was not
very popular owing to the fact that he was in charge during World War II and
escaped being court-martialled for thousands of war crimes and deaths. However,
when he was not concentrating on politics, his passion was marine biology. No
amateur, he established a marine laboratory and research space in his palace
and hired numerous marine biologists to help with his research. Several decades
after the war, Hirohito was so knowledgable about the marine sciences that he
regularly published scientific research papers in journals about various types
of marine life found in Japanese waters.
