I'm not sure I totally agree with you - although I do have a lot of sympathy with your concern that people focus too much on their weaknesses! Very much so! Personally, I figure out where to put the extra effort in based upon how much I'm going to get out. Sometimes that means putting in a day's training to cover a weakness but sometimes it involves a day's training on developing a strength... I just do which is going to be most value-for-money (well, value for time, but you know what I mean). Of course, it means I need to spend a little bit of time figuring out where my effort is best spent and that's time I could be spending doing something, but I figure that 10 minutes thinking will be paid back over and over if I figure out what I should spend the rest of the day learning or developing. It's not about any one approach *always*. Not for me, at least! :) Simon Hi.
