Strengths and Weaknesses

Everybody has strengths and weaknesses. In my field, that includes every lawyer and even judges too. But in reality, it includes everyone, including you and me.

In some situations, a strength may become a weakness. Or vice versa: a weakness may become a strength.

The key is having the self-awareness to know, depending on the situation, whether a certain quality will manifest as a strength or as a weakness. And also to have had the experience -- through trial and error, or perhaps simply through life itself -- to discern when a certain quality will manifest as a strength or as a weakness.

Even with all that being said, though, we are all human: mortal, imperfect, subject to other forces such as hunger, fatigue, and the like. And thus, each and every one of us has our strengths and our weaknesses.
