When strength becomes weakness
All my life I have been recognized as quick learner, fast to adapt, and adjust. I always tried to solve the problems at a very faster speed. When I was in 9th standard, I challenged myself to submit my math worksheet first in the class and I was always successful in submitting it first with all the correct answers. It indeed helped me in scoring well.
I had started to feel that I have the perfect approach to handle problems as my speed of doing things was helping me to get recognition and success.
The speed was not only in doing things, but it was also there in my speaking skills.
I love dancing. During dance practice, I did feel that I tend to be a bit faster than others, result of which I was dancing one beat faster than others and hence didn't fit well in the dancing group. Specially where less of energy and more of control in body was required for dancing.
I love singing too. I am in 5th year of Indian classical vocal. I realized that despite having the right notes and good voice I am always a beat faster or little bit faster. In music, an iota of speed more than what is required, completely impacts the quality of produced music. Even untrained ears can claim that produced music is not good.
In technical forums, my speed is not helping me communicate my points effectively.
Speed is what I practiced whole life, and it is backstabbing me in anything I want to excel.
