Sometimes I Wish I Could Dance

We all have special talents… for some of us we’re naturally good at socializing.  For others we love numbers, Excel and anything analytical.  Some people are naturally great dancers. I am sure of one thing… I am not a “good” dancer. Let me rephrase that – I have two left feet.

Sometimes I really wish I was a better dancer.

Magicians work hard to make difficult slights look easy. Chick-fil-A works hard to make serving others look easy.

Has anyone ever become the best without working hard at it?
