Winners Give Up Hiding Their Wekness(es)

Winners no longer fear, nor continue to hide, their weaknesses. They have accepted the imperfections in their own nature and, rather than carrying them around their neck like an anchor, they compensate with additional training, or by recruiting help.

Weakness comes in many forms. Abraham Lincoln was known in his early days as being very belligerent. In fact, one of his harsh criticisms led him into a "duel to the death" with the man he publicly criticized. Fortunately, the duel was stopped just in time. From that point on, Lincoln committed himself to overcoming his belligerent ways, eventually leading him to say, "Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker, the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.”

Act on your strengths. Don’t hide your weaknesses…overcome them.
