Success in any particular activity is for the most part dependent on the amount of time you are willing to dedicate to doing said thing, which in turn is dependent on the "moral justification" part of your ego. For example, you could intrinsically feel very good and justified as a person that is able to to work with his hands to build or fix stuff because of whatever reason. In this case you will likely become a very good tradesman, or mechanic or CNC technician, or something dealing with manufacture or repair or construction. In the same way, you fundamentally believe that math contains the answers to everything, you pretty much live and breathe it, and can likely become a professor or researcher at some university or institute. If you don't have any strong conviction about anything, it becomes much harder to determine the kind of stuff you will be good at because of external factors. For example, you could find yourself among peers that stimulate you emotionally in other ways, and then you end up developing a set of values that cause you to pursue a career that you never have thought of before.
