Our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses

This statement can be acknowledged by people depending on their beliefs on self-confidence and it is clear that some may agree with and others not. This statement can really show the pride that people have for themselves; they believe that once reached a certain level of achievement in life, no one can blame or advise them on such specific achievement.

People mostly are ignorant; they think that world is static and not dynamic; once achieved an expertise, they become confident to control the world in such expertise, sometimes even in other areas of expertise as they possess then the “I can do it”. Such people can be classified as traditional researchers because from the scientific point of view, one might recognise that he or she can be replaced by another person who can shade lights on what he or she has achieved so far.

One Democratic Republic of Congo’s Professor stated that “a Lecturer is an eternal student” and why it is difficult for others to recognise that one can never say that he or she is static and what not dynamic? Achieving certain levels in life makes people to believe that that forms their strengths and they by self-confidence, they normally find themselves in a later stage that they do not perform well or being replaced by others because of pride that is or was created from such performance. In fact, what might be your strength can only be another person’s part of strengths.
