4. Forget it: Don’t try to fix your weaknesses.
I agree completely with this assumption. Weaknesses are not the biggest problem in the world that people have to deal with. I like his point that weaknesses give us our uniqueness and they also show us what our strengths are. Weaknesses are different in eveyrone’s eye and there will never be a day when someone is able to completely be perfect in a sense to someone. I like other people’s weaknesses because it helps me see what that person truly is. We can work on really bad weaknesses like ones that hurt others but we should not have to change ourselves for others if it is painful for us. It is very hard to change weaknesses and no matter how hard an individual tries there will still be a little part of them that still has that weakness. This is why I think that everyone should have weaknesses because it can lead to great relationships. We can all help eachother out with our different weaknesses which will bring us all together and help us work together. If everyone had all the great strengths in the world, the world would be boring and no one would need another person.
5. Foundation: Build on your strengths.
I think that this is a very great thing that any individual can do. We all have different levels of strengths and we need to harbor those strengths and use them to our advantage. Working with our strengths will help all of us succeed in the real world. We also should enjoy our strengths and be able to find out what our strengths actually are. Our strengths are usually what we enjoy and what we use to get ahead and focusing on our weaknesses can destroy some of our strengths in a sense. We could start to not utilize our strengths and just focus on what our weaknesses are which can hurt us in the long run. We must work on our strengths in every aspect of our lives. And I do believe that if we utilize our strengths we are also working on our weaknesses without even knowing it. We are denying our weaknesses in a sense where we don’t focus on them and we are getting ahead with our strengths.
8. Freak: The power of uniqueness
I agree that everyone has a certain sense of uniqueness to them. We all need this uniqueness or we would all be the exact same person in a sense. I like my uniqueness. No one else is like me. No one can do what I can do. No one can help people like I do. No one can make people laugh like I do. I enjoy what I am and I do not want to change because others think it is wrong. I am a clutz and disorganized and always a mess. I enjoy what I am and I would never change for another person. No matter how hard I may try I wil never be able to truly fix all my flaws. And I am okay with this aspect. Being different is what makes other people like me more because I am different than them. I have different aspects of me that cause me to be unique. It is great to be unique and all of us are unique and we have to see it that way instead of flaws or problems. People will always try to fix our flaws but if they aren’t hurting anyone we should see them as great things that just make us different than others.
