Strength and Weakness


Any person, if analyzed impartially, will be at different compenent levels in various areas of his life. People say that everyone has to work on his weaknesses to improve oneself. That is correct, but the amount of time and effort put into improving on the weaknesses and the struggle to learn/unlearn in the area of weaknesses is huge. People spend their entire life on things that they are no good at and end up being average. Everyone has some inner strength or things which they are good at. Finding this strength and channelling it for useful works is more worthwhile than working on weakness. 

The brain is a circuit board, which some inherent capacity, which can be altered to suit the indidivual demands. The process can be irreversible, temporary. This alteration is not for everybody, but only in special cases. Everyone is busy becoming average and fighting to be above average, but few try different paths and become extraordinary. Only if Einstein worked on rugby, Sachin worked on particle physics, Latha mangeshkar on tennis, Salman on good behaviour, Sonia gandhi on charity, Hitler on spirituality, our world would have been far worser than it is actually it is. These people worked on their strengths throughout their lifetime and achieved that many only dream about.

There many more true life stories or people who achieved something at the top levels, but working on weakness throughout our lifetimes, we are becoming average in a group of billions. We know a little about everything, but no mastery on anything. May be our strengths lie in being average.

Being a average person is a strength, because it is difficult to shift the average than it is to shift to move the top or the bottom.

Average is strength and also a weakness.
