While at art school, Phil Hansen was shaken and he could not draw a straight line like before. The only thing he can do is scribbles.

The dream of becoming an artist seems to have no hope.

Shaking hands, Hansen could hardly pursue his artistic goal. The dots instead of plumping become "tadpoles". He tried to hold the pen tighter, but the more he did, the more he shook his hand. Each time squeezing the pen a little more, the hands did not know "obedient". You can't control it. So, a vicious circle created, the more he felt pain and many symptoms of joints began to appear. Unable to handle anything normally, Hansen decided to quit school.

But passion is hard to give up .

A few years later, because Hansen could not completely lose his passion for art, Hansen decided to meet a neurologist to discuss the trembling disease and learned that he had permanent nerve damage. Hansen desperately gave the paper with his scrawny lines to show him and received an unexpected advice:

"Why don't you follow the trembling?"

As if awakened, Hansen returned home, hurriedly grabbed the pencil and began drawing continuously despite his constantly trembling hands. He kept his hands trembling and his mind and soul were infatuated with each stroke. You accept that trembling. He found himself able to do art.

Thanks to the great advice, Hansen began to exploit the "hand trembling" weakness to turn it into his strong point. He drew tiny dots next to each other if he wanted to create straight lines; he patted with the tools to create larger pieces of work; he returned to school and completed his studies; He found a job and had income. But unfortunately, Hansen encountered another obstacle.

When he began to be able to make a living with art with trembling hands, Hansen realized his creativity was completely empty. He bought enough tools but didn't know what to do with them. He spends a lot of money for the afternoon sipping Starbucks coffee and while people only drink a few cups, he enjoys dozens of cups. In the end, Hansen came up with a very unique idea: drawing on his chest.

Hansen draws 30 images, each layer at a time, this layer overlaps the other layer and each image represents an influence in his life. Continuing, he asked people to tell a story of a beautiful moment in their lives and create a new work based on those shares. Their story has become an art.

As for the ups and downs, Hansen said: "When thinking about 3 years of renouncing art, being away from dreams and just living like a machine instead of trying to find another way to continue that dream, I used to surrendering, giving up and being helpless with my hands, but when I followed that trembling, I could do it, and finally learn how to be creative in terms of weaknesses of we are the best hope for us to change ".

Turn weaknesses into strong points

Occasionally, we cannot move forward because of a weakness and sadness is impossible to overcome or change it. We let it become a "giant elephant in the room", holding us back instead of taking advantage of it to move forward.

Not really a new strength that helps you become a leader.

The only thing I find myself different is that I am not afraid of being drowned in boring jobs. I will not overwork, end! You can be smarter than me, more talented than me, more attractive than me, more energetic than me and generally more than I am. However, if you both do a tedious job, two things will happen: either you will give up first or I will be immersed in it. Very simple, right? - Will Smith.

We often look at our shortcomings and assume that "perfect" people without weaknesses like you will succeed faster. However, success is a marathon rather than a sprint. Even if there are more handsome, more talented opponents, Will Smith will not consider it a hindrance.
