speaking of job recommendations...

There was another question on the referral... "In terms of skills, what would be some of the applicant's weaknesses?" 

I realized, once again, that this is often a pride question. Oh wow, he/she thinks he/she knows everything in regards to ________ and that's a definite weakness. 

But, when you meet someone who acknowledges their weakness, their limits, their areas where they need to learn more... can it really be called a weakness at that point? 

If you know you don't know something...

If you know you aren't good at something... 

If you know there is more to learn... 

How is that ever a weakness? 

It's not. It's a strength. 

So... the greatest weakness is the false belief that you don't have any weaknesses. All other weaknesses... are strengths and don't really exist. 

Once again, this would be a helpful lesson for religions.
