I like that you're willing to share your screw-up to give context to the lesson you learned. Thank you.

Are you recommending that people fix their deficiencies, and become better at them? Or that they learn to fill those gaps by asking for help, and by surrounding themselves with people who are great at those things, people who love to do them.

The latter is my approach, except when I decide I want that skill in my toolbox (and I also believe that the skill can be mastered even if not a gift of nature.)
