The first thing I thought of when I read the blog topic our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses is the story of Samson and Delilah in the bible where it was evident that with great power comes great responsibility. Samson’s greatest strength if not maintained and used in a positive way could turn out to be his greatest weakness.
So often it is seen that when people have a certain amount of power they don’t always use it in the most positive way.
My greatest strength is that I am very honest, yet it is also my greatest weakness. Now you might be thinking how on earth can someone be too honest, but the truth is it has got me into trouble plenty of times, I have no poker face so if someone asks me what my thoughts and opinions are on something I tell them the truth.
Another of my greatest strengths and weaknesses is my ability to continuously speak my mind. But, I am often told I call a spade a spade and tell people that I cannot help them. My kindness clouds my judgment and makes me weak in saying NO!

Even though I know being honest is the best way, I need to know when to bite my tongue and when not to because what I say can often be hurtful and mean without me even realising.
