Strengths Exaggerated Become Weaknesses

Did you ever notice that people often get fired for the very strength they were hired for or a couple breaks up based on the very things that attracted them to each other?  Why is that?  Your strength of personality, when not kept in balance and check, becomes your weakness. It is not that you have changed, but rather it is the fact that now the thing folks were attracted to you for now begins to work against you. They are around it all the time.  The outgoing and friendly salesman is now too chatty. The serious and focused accountant is now labeled negative and a loner. It is not that we need to change but that we simply need to find balance. It might very well be that you can discover your strengths by simply toning down the things that you think are a weakness.
