I know that I will never get to the bottom of my weaknesses, no matter how hard I try. I also know that I will never get to the top of my strengths, no matter how hard I desire it. In any case, I would not sucrifise my values or personality to muscle strengths or diet weaknesses. In all other cases I would not work on any of my weaknesses if I would not totally accept them as such.
