Let me add another point to consider. Strength and weakness are not value judgments. They are descriptions of conditions. Looking at our strengths and weaknesses with appreciation helps us to make decisions about any actions we will take. For example, on a baseball team the pitcher is usually strong as a pitcher but weak as a hitter. The big hitters do not pitch. It's their weak area. The coach places them, uses their strengths where they accomplish the most. Us too. Lace may be weak, so we don't use it for hiking clothes. Denim may be strong but it's not our choice in a wedding gown. I think the topic has a lot to do with how we direct and use our strengths and weaknesses.
