Gaah...it's there everywhere.. in college applications, job interviews...maybe your own resume. What? Well, this idea that your weakness should never be out of your own sweet closet. It should be passed off as a sone-ka-biskut (gold biscuit) instead. Who came up with this brilliant idea anyway? It's made my world more boring. For example, when I ask people about their weaknesses in an interview, pat comes the reply... "Oh! I tend to overwork, you know", "I just don't know when to stop working", "I help everyone, I just cannot say no".
Is that your weakness? Really? Well blood-sucking leech that I am, I consider it as your biggest asset. Who told you that working 16 hours a day is overworking? And who asked you to stop working by the way? Keep moving those arms about until I say "Go home!" Or wait, going home from office every day is surely a chink in your armour.Why can't someone say for example, "I double as a thug by the night. Watch out for your computer parts." Or something like "I like to gnaw off table corners if the lunch is served late." How about "At times, I tend to act and think like a toad".
But no. They would go on about their industriousness and wear it as their badge of dishonour. Really.
