Seen, but Unseen.. Part 1

Hey, guyz! This time I want to talk about a phrase called ‘Seen, but Unseen’.. I managed to realize the meaning of this phrase after reading a comic named ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’..Well.. This can mean two things.. I divide this post into two blogs, explaining each meaning of this phrase.. This is the first part.. And the theme is WEAKNESS..

You may have heard about Weakness.. Everybody has weakness.. Weakness is a contradiction of strength.. While strength gives you advantages, weakness gives you disadvantages.. Sometimes your strength cpuld cover your weakness.. But also, sometimes your weakness may cover your strength which will make you as if you’re incapable of doing something..

What troubled humans is how to identified our weakness.. Now this is the focus of my post.. The biggest weakness that humans have is.. WEAKNESS OF IDENTIFYING OUR WEAKNESS..

We have problem with identifying our weakness.. Most of us can’t make weakness analysis properly.. When you ask someone about his/her weakness.. He/she will said it with his/her filtered version.. Even when someone ask him/herself about his/her weakness.. He/she will identify only the weaknesses which he/she can accept it..

Seen.. But Unseen..

The weaknesses are right in front of us.. They live in our mind.. They roam in our heart.. We know that the weaknesses are ours.. But.. We don’t want to admit it.. No.. Even more.. We do not want to accept it.. We turn our face against it.. Trying to ignore it as if it’s not there.. As if we don’t know about it..

Arrogance.. It is the factor that makes us ignore our weaknesses.. We want to be strong.. We want to achieve greatness.. It’s everybody’s basic dreams.. We don’t want to know that those dreams can’t be reached by us.. We don’t want to appear weak in front of other people.. We just thought that weakness is the obstacle of gettting strong.. Part of it is true.. But, weakness is not an obstacle if you take it in a right wrong.. Those who can realize their weaknesses and accept it are those who have great opportunity of becoming strong.. Cuz, by identifying our weaknesses.. We can try to fix it.. Just like optimizing strengths.. We have to minimize weaknesses..

The key of this problem is courage.. Most of us fear of weakness.. We don’t have to be scared.. Weakness is the one which have to fear us.. We have the power.. Use your courage to identify your weakness and your strengths to fix them, not just cover them..

Be not afraid of weakness.. You’re the one who make it unseen.. So, open your eyes..
It is there.. You just have to be brave to admit it.. Only by identifying it, you can become stronger.. Cuz, only those who can admit their weaknesses can optimize their strengths..

Nothing Personal, No Hard Feelings, No Offense..

roi..

i think there's HUNDREDS of reasons why people fail to identify their weaknesses..

i offer u some.

do you know about "jendela djauhari" roi? it's one of my fave theory. it said that every personality that people have divided into 4 section (same as window)

1. the part that u can see and others can see too
2. the part that u can see but others can not see
3. the part that u can not see, but others can see
4. the part that neither you can see nor others

people who has a large part of section 1, might be able to identify his/her self, including their weaknesses.
But people who has a large part of section 4, might find difficulties to do that. why? because there's huge part of his/her that nobody knows.

i'm an example of this case.

other reasons like denial, too much believe on other people opinion, etc..

so there are so many different cases.

but i agree that weaknesses must be found. Because if you know your weaknesses, it might be your strongest force..
