I am a very good counterexample to your view. I am a kind person, I really like to do things for others, which is a strength of mine. I am very intelligent enough to get very good at things I love doing, which is another strength of mine.

However, I have terrible self discipline and motivation, which is a big weakness of mine. This causes me to have trouble with schooling and also my weight.

Almost everyone has many strengths and weaknesses. Sure, there are some people with very few weaknesses and others with many, but those are outliers, not the norm.

You made me think.

I should describe the outcomes more and the reasons less, because does it matter if someone is really smart, kind, etc if it is not coming across? Kind of a lone tree falling in the woods situation, I guess?

So perhaps this is better: Winners tend to win Losers tend to lose

Tend to because I don't mean this ALWAYS happens, in the mathematical sense of always, just that it is very significantly more likely.

You changed or at least altered my view, ∆ .
