The Thinking Behind The Tweet
I have talked with many successful entrepreneurs who possess this innate talent. Many of these talented entrepreneurs work in our Waterloo area. This innate 'focus-talent' provides them the ability to see problems & opportunities before others see them.
Because of their innate Focus BrainSmart, it is accurate to say these entrepreneurs see things that are invisible to most people.
They see problems before others see them. Sometimes this is interpreted as pessimism. It isn't pessimism. It's better-than-most vision.
These entrepreneurs also see opportunities before others see them. Sometimes this is seen as maverick. If it is maverick then maverick is a really good thing because it opens the doors for innovation and insight...and injection of value for clients.
When this valuable talent is not recognized by employers...well, that's a common cause of successful entrepreneurial start-ups.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
As a rule, you don't see happy faces when people are struggling with their work.
As a rule, you don't see unhappy faces when people are doing a good job.
When put to good use, personal talents & strengths generate two things: positive body language and quality work results.
Abraham Lincoln
"Every man is proud of what he does well; and no man is proud of what he does not do well. With the former, his heart is in his work; and he will do twice as much of it with less fatigue. The latter performs a little imperfectly, looks at it in disgust, turns from it, and imagines himself exceedingly tired. The little he has done, comes to nothing, for want of finishing."

Talents + Opportunities + Specialized Knowledge + Practiced Skills = Personal Strengths
Venting our Personal Strengths - that's 'people-excellence'.
