写作
We all have weaknesses and strengths -no matter who we are.Sometimes the weaknesses seem to
outweigh the strengths and sometimes it's the other way around.Some people get sick easily.Some struggle to manage their finances properly.Some people are hopeless communicators and struggle with
relationships.Many people leave it and accept it as just bad luck-but not everyone.Some people facing
huge limitations still manage to achieve.They rise above their weaknesses and do not allow them to limit
their possibilities.I attended a school prizegiving ceremony not so long ago and the guest speaker was
Andrew,who was a blind man as a child.Instead of allowing this to limit him,he chose to work hard to overcome it.When he was 10,he became deaf.He is now the Principal Youth Court Judge for New Zealand.
Not only did he become successful,but he did so in a profession where he had to speak in front of others
regularly.
