Each ability quotation on this page depicts the unique perspective of the author. Just as thoughts vary, so do the abilities of each person. Realizing your abilities is a task in itself. Many people don’t recognize their true capability. But, simply comprehending one's ability is not enough; it must also be used for one's benefit and for the benefit of those around us. Each ability quotation on this page teaches us a different dimension of ability.
