The strong man

I wonder how many people really have a good idea of their strengths and limitations?

Growing up I saw so many people, especially women, playing down their strengths, as if it was better to be weak and needy and clumsy. They seemed to think it was cute, or funny, or even sexy.

Now some of those same women are caught up in a web of their own making, because ineptness is neither cute, nor desirable.

On the other hand, I know some people who seem to believe they are so gifted and strong they can do anything! This isn't as great as it sounds either. Over confidence can lead to failure and even though that is not bad, it can be annoying or even dangerous.

The trick is to actually know who you are and what you can do, or not do, then make adjustments to counter balance your weaknesses.

I wonder how many people know their real selves?

Those are the strongest people of all.
