Very insightful letter.

I'm not totally clear on the fact about "Stop trying to make your weaknesses into strengths" you also agreed to it. My pov is yes its best to focus on what our strength is and grow it to what no one can beat it, but what about our weakness? I can focus on my strength; but if I totally ignore my weakness it will make me fragile in that area. So what should one do? Do I need to give some what of my energy in slightly making my weakness to not be weakness.

The way I've heard it is, "Maximize your strengths, neutralize your weaknesses." So the goal would be to ensure your weaknesses aren't hold you back, not make them into strengths.

This is beautiful: “When you focus on the past, that's your ego. When I focus on the future, that's my pride. I try to focus on the moment. In the present. That's humility. That's being humble. That's a skill I'm trying to master.” - Giannis Antetokounmpo

One of the most powerful Life Lessons is: Overcome your past.
