Whatever qualities I possess—whether they be “strengths” or “weaknesses”—I strive to hone into TOOLS. Personally, it seems that the best approach is to employ whatever methods works in a given context (while maintaining ethical standards). What doesn’t seem to work is fruitlessly scrabbling to uphold some high-handed ideal.

Yep… “high standards”… heh, something that Reality will crush every time. “Good enough” is something that is achievable, and for some, is truly great. Either way, a healthy sense of accomplishment is the. reward.

Indeed! Jung said “people don’t find God because they aren’t looking low enough,” implying that if you start with what’s in front of you, or “good enough” you stand a chance at building up momentum with continuous victories, making greatness much more likely. If you’re dead-set on perfection, however, you’ve just narrowed your chances by orders of magnitude.

Strength and weakness of character depend upon context. In one context a weakness is a strength and in another a strength is a weakness!

I agree. Classic example would be if I lifted x amount of weight which would be easy for me, but impressive for a ten-year old. Context applies to everything.
