      Make your identity about your strengths, not your weaknesses.

      I often hear people say they can’t do X because they’re not good at Y, and Y is a minor factor which they can address in some other way by using one of their strengths.

      Most people are only really good at a few things. Focus on going from really good to great in those areas rather than spending your energy going from bad to mediocre in other areas.

          Michael Jordan went from great to goat by focusing on weaknesses and turning them into strengths

          Disagree if you happen to need both your good and your bad areas.

          As any tyro learning Chess would tell us - "In Chess, always play to your strengths - the weaknesses are hard-wired much, much deeper"

          I’m not sure I completely agree with you. At my age, I feel like spending energy on things and learning I’m not interested or good at them will help me find my true interests & strengths. Then I can focus on going from good to great. Any thoughts for junior people?
