Strengths <=> Weaknesses

Your strengths are your weaknesses.
Your weakness are your strengths.

Lots to unpack:

I have a huge capacity for working hard. I can grind, be consistent, at inhuman levels. But that’s also a weakness. Hard work can’t solve every situation. But when working hard is a strength it becomes the hammer that treats every problem as a nail. Hunkering down blinds you to opportunities that being lazy sees. Working hard on the wrong project, is wasted youth and talent. My strength is my weakness, when wrongly applied.

On the flip side, I’m bad at selling. It’s my weakness, my bottleneck. So I went and learned how to do it. And revenue went up after that! My weakness was the source of growth, when pursued rightly. So it’s my strength.

So…

Your strengths are your weaknesses.
Your weakness are your strengths.
