It’s hard for me to decide whether I agree with this statement or not!
I think it is important for any individual to know their own strengths and weaknesses, in doing so, they will be able to analyse tasks and their abilities. This will provide individuals with the opportunity to learn more about themselves.
I also think that a strength develops from a weakness, there is no strength without there first being a weakness, otherwise everybody would be a genius! Strengths and weaknesses should be decided by one self as you are the best critic of your abilities. Often other people feel they have the ability to decide other people’s strengths and weaknesses, but this cant be the case.
Individuals who thrive on only their strengths depicted by others will fail to discover other strength’s they might possess by recognising their weaknesses and improving on it.
Our greatest strengths can also become our greatest weakness when it the strength goes to your head and you think you are invincible. Nobody is that good or perfect to know everything and to be the best at everything. With the changing environment we live in, we can only learn more to keep up times. Therefore, our strengths might change, and what we consider to be a strength might become a weakness through not learning and being open to suggestion.
So, now that I’ve thought about it, I agree with this statement.

It is apparent that our strengths and weaknesses are interlinked. Maybe the statement is eluding to the fact that our greatest strengths are not in fact our strengths but weaknesses that are great.
