CHAPTER

What Happens When You Over Develop Your Strength?

What happens when you focus on one thing and develop it so much that it actually ends at becoming a weakness? That's a great analogy.

And people who are already a little bit confident, if we make them even more confident, they might become arrogant or over confidence.
