Your strengths aren't enough

This article was about how the phrase 'Go with your strengths" isn't as good as of a saying as it sounds, and analyzes is it further. Janet Blatter first writes on how what exactly is a strength? Is it your specific style? Is it something you can do, or something you've always had? And how do you know if you even have one if you've never challenged it? Janet stresses that Animators shouldn't change their specific style, but shouldn't limit themselves either. She says how Animators are constantly asking themselves "what if" which leads to a better animation. She then talks about "Self-Efficiency" which is not caring about what other people think, and just doing what you think is right with your strengths you have. This is a bad idea though, because you can't ever accept criticism.
I thought this article had a good point but was kind of boring. It's good to put your strengths to good use, but also to learn new things and apply them. So I basically agree with Janet.
