Once I saw this blog written by Molly Cantrell-Kraig, an independent and strong-minded woman, I could not resist commenting on this topic. I believe that in fact, there is no perfect people in this world, and everyone has shortcomings. In front of flaws, some people try to conceal or feel self-abasement, and dare not to communicate with other people, which will make other people feel hypocrisy and unreal and are not willing to contract with them. Actually, when facing the shortcomings, what people really need to do is to face the weaknesses calmly, to challenge themselves bravely and to admit the disadvantages courageously. Get honest about the flaws and everyday is an opportunity to face and deal with the shortcomings.

Especially for a company, if it has no weaknesses or disadvantages to overcome, the only result for it is to be eliminated by the market no matter what competitive place it is in (industry leader, follower, newcomer). Don’t be afraid of any shortcomings; we can even be secretly pleased of the our shortcomings, which are the potential for our progress to success. Through improvement, the weaknesses can continuously make self-improvement so as to be honored, awarded and promoted.
