We usually hear more experienced or older people tell us to improve on where we are weak. We are suggested to get more trainings, seminars and practices for such areas where we are weak to be better in those things or fields. Some might improve but becoming an expert on those things he or she was initial weak at might be an exception to the rule.

Dr. John Maxwell, a well known book author and global speaker tells us that it is best to focus on our strength rather than our weakness. Many of us take a long time, years and years, or even spend so much and probably lose so much before we take his advice. When we try to focus on our weakness, it is usually very hard for us to concentrate, improve and master it while if we focus on our strengths, we love it, we enjoy it and we have a greater chance to master it.

In our life, time is of the essence. Life is too short. Why focus on weaknesses and possibly waste time doing so if we can focus on our strengths and be masters of it.
