I have this dumb theory that people are more likely to improve when they accept their flaws
It sounds contradictive but hear me out...
like... if we are more willing to accept our flaws then we are more willing to work with them to our advantage, and design our personal systems around our weaknesses
but if we're ashamed then we are more prone to try and hide our flaws and weaknesses under the rug instead of working with them?
an example is that I have a trashy memory.
but because I've accepted this, I've developed systems to compensate and tools to help me remember
but if I just pushed aside my weaknesses and only focused on my strengths then I would only be improving the things that didn't really need improving?
I dunno if I'm making much sense lol
but thanks for coming to my TED talk
