Entrepreneur Ankur Warikoo recently shared a piece of advice from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about how to find your real edge at work.


Altman says your “superpower” is something that feels easy and natural to you, but amazing or difficult for others. In other words, what you do effortlessly — and maybe even take for granted — could be your biggest strength.

He suggests that instead of only chasing passion or relying on experience, people should focus on what comes naturally to them. Ask yourself:

  • What do I do faster or better than most people?
  • What feels easy to me but hard to others?

Those answers reveal your true advantage — the skill that can set you apart in your career or business.

The post struck a chord online, with many agreeing that self-awareness is the first step to real career success. One user commented, “Our biggest strengths often hide behind what feels effortless.”

Altman’s view reminds us that success isn’t always about following your passion — it’s about recognizing and using your natural superpower.
