Name Your Weakness. I'll Call It Your Strength!

Is It Really Your Weakness?  

How often have you heard a saying “Nobody is perfect”? Probably, often enough for it to sink in and make you think that weaknesses is something inevitable to possess, and there is nothing wrong about going off the right track every once in a while. While it is a-double-edged-issue to discuss – mainly because the question of judgment remains open – since nearly all aspects of our life can be viewed from diametrically different perspectives, there is a positive thing about our weaknesses. They can be turned into strengths.

Acceptance Is Your Way to Success!

It may be deemed as an inclination to choose the easier way – while some people continuously try to eliminate their weaknesses, this post emphasizes that it is more beneficial to convert disadvantages into advantages. However, there undoubtedly is a very challenging point in this very attempt – acceptance. Accepting your weaknesses and embracing them can be difficult, especially for one with high self-esteem. However, it needs to be done – humanism, for one, suggests that an individual's behavior is connected to their inner feelings and self-concept. Apparently, a healthy, two-way link between how one behaves and what they actually have on their mind is something to strive for, particularly for one’s inner peace. 

Do You Want To Change Something? Start With the Following!

Thus, advice number one – write a list of your weaknesses. Number two – look at the written points and think how every of them has ever helped you – not putting “if any of them has ever helped you”, because all of them surely did. Number three – write the substituting names for your weaknesses which sound as strength, for example:

      ·     indecisive, shy – patient and reflective

      ·     stubborn – determined

      ·     disorganized – creative

      ·     impatient – passionate, inspired

I'm Not Afraid... Not Anymore!

      Do not be afraid of your weaknesses – not because everyone has them, but because they make you and complete you, and open you the way towards self-improvement, self-challenging and self-exploring. 

      I would be glad to know what YOU consider your weakness ;-) You are welcome to share your thoughts below! 

Let's Get Started... Can Writing Be Taught?

People Need Some Knowledge...

All around the world, at this very moment, people are being taught something – in schools, colleges, at tutor’s lessons, at a dinner table – in the academic sense. People receive new information, theoretical foundation for enriching their knowledge base, acquire new skills and become more “educated”, implying the fact those being taught perceive the information, interpret it and store in their minds for further use and implementation.

Is It Art or Science?

Writing, on the other side, along with some other disciplines deemed to have more from art than from science or academic innovations, has been viewed as something one can have an inborn talent to accomplish, not something one can master having compiled the heard advice, the received pointers, the necessary instructions and the explained techniques. Without a doubt, strict and straightforward guidelines, the ability to extract just the needed portion of information from numerous sources, blending it together with own interpretations and structuring the gathered content into a well-composed paper following all the rules of the English language might do the trick in terms of producing a piece of writing one can be positively graded for. After all, having all instructions and guidelines under one’s belt, it is hard to do something wrong, but can the writing be called a truly unique, nicely composed, innovative in its own manner and interesting to read piece of writing? Probably, not quite.

Is It Really The Gift That Matters?

Writing techniques can be taught, paper formats can be mastered, but having this natural ability to make the paper flow, to brushstroke through the blank canvas with words, ideas and thoughts and turn it into a masterpiece requires another kind of talent – not the gift to learn and gather information, but the gift to find the right words and enjoy the very process of writing.
 

I do enjoy it and I hope You will enjoy it as well! Share your own opinion upon the topic. I am so eager to read it :-)
