   This is a good question. My mother had a phrase she used often, "You can always be better than you are." And while true, it also tends to leave you focused on what's wrong and not what's positive.
   
   In terms of blogging, and just getting out there, I think playing to your strengths is a great way to start. Do what you know you're good at, what you're comfortable with. What you have passion for.
   
   Then the things you don't know as well-- say, maybe you're not as technically sound-- you can work on along the way.
   
   But hey, maybe that works for general Life, too.

   I'm a dork, and I write about dopey stuff. It seems to be working for me.
   
   It keeps me happy and off the streets.

      Yeah, 'cause we'd be worried about you there causing trouble on the streets. One more blogger we'd have to have a Bloggers Unite here to raise bail for.

   You should be playing to your strengths - I would drop a link for you to look at here - but I have been told that is bad form... troll-like even.
   
   So Mr. Yankee fan - if you drop me a note - I will give you a link. But - I have said before - it is impossible to be great at everything, so it is better to decide what it is you are very good at and make it your greatness! Then surround yourself with those who can aid in the other areas!

   Why not just throw everyone off and play to your weaknesses? >.>

      because odds are you will throw yourself off as well.

      Sometimes it's hard to tell my strength from my weakness.

   Play to strengths, find partners who are strong in areas of weakness.

   I think of it as skills that I have learned, vs. those that I have not. So, I always am looking to learn something new. For me, this is success.

   play their strength but keep on building up their weaknesses, so that when they reach the top they become strong enough to stand the stormy winds.
