It happens consistently, and is repeatable. For every strength, we possess roughly 1,000 non-strengths. This ratio says it's a huge waste of time to even try to fix all of our weaknesses. When your best efforts get you nowhere, redirect the same energy to a strength. Weaknesses reduce productivity or lessen self-esteem.
Individuals functioning on strength show little or no defensive behavior.
They meet challenges with a doubling of activity, and progress is the norm, not the exception. In contrast, working on strength, we can measure improvement and have a quick learning curve. In mastering the skill, talented people find that the steps become automatic quickly. Continuing to think about the steps indicates a weakness. Motivation goes away when we can't do something well.
