The willingness to keep trying new things, even when you are an expert, is what separates the good from the great. It showcases your humility and your ability to cope with uncomfortable things. The ability to cope with the uncomfortable will transform you from bad to good and good to great in any endeavor in life.
Focusing on what you’re best at is needed for optimizing your performance, but improving what you’re weak at will lift all aspects of your work and life. It’s easier to go from 20% to 80% competent than to get from 80% to 98% competent. Improving what we’re bad at will have a massive payoff much faster.
Greatness comes when we eliminate weaknesses, not accentuate strengths.
When things are going well, it’s hard to leave your comfort zone. Outside of the comfort zone is where growth happens. Growth in the weak areas will lead to greatness.
