Right. I was simply emphasizing the difference between dreams and strengths. In (a loosely applied) Kahneman's terminology, use your System 2 to build on your System 1, not to fight it.
Another standard point is "use it or lose it". If you don't develop your strengths/talents early, they fade with age. It's most obvious in sports and music, but applies to almost anything.
