Each one of us has an area of our life where we are not strong, where we fail, where we even contradict the image we give. Sometimes these weaknesses truncate possibilities and other times they leave us in a bad position. I could summarize that my weaknesses have to do with: imprudence, the need to control and an excess of perfectionism, among many others.

There are weaknesses that I have even accepted and I justify them, I look for a way to adapt to them and I do nothing to change that situation, telling myself, "it's okay," for example: I don't like going up escalators, I've already said that at some point and when I get to a place the first thing I do is find the normal ones, I'm not going to go up an escalator and it's okay. I don't like invitations to weddings, baptisms and the like where there is a protocol, that dead time, I no longer accept it.

I don't like speaking in public, when I have to do it I have not had problems, I accept it, but I can avoid it better. It is not something that attracts me. I am one of those who learns from other people's heads and I have anecdotes: on one occasion, a colleague was retiring from high school and someone suggested that I go up on stage at a song and poetry festival where we were and give her a few words. I politely declined the invitation and told them if they wanted, I would write the words, but someone else could go up and read them.
A friend immediately offered to "write and I'll go up," but she was not paying attention to what I was writing, but instead she started talking to another friend, until they called her to go up on stage. When she did, I heard what she was saying and it did not sound at all like what I had written. She was improvising, she got very nervous, she rambled and spoke incoherently, that affected her presentation.
When she came down she told me "you can't read anything up there, it's too dark" because she was already affected by presbyopia; my learning was: you always have to prepare yourself, not overestimate your strengths or underestimate your weaknesses.

Regarding being reckless, I know I need to improve it because it has been like a kind of impulsive and playful behavior, where I have made comments to the public, humorous poems about situations that occurred in meetings and I created my own minutes, then someone would get the text and had no qualms about reading it in public, and it became common that after a general council, the article I had written would come out, that, although funny, could have its implications.

Less than a year ago we were at a social gathering, where they served rice that was not very well prepared, it had hard parts and soft parts, what we usually call "zarataco", but nobody said anything, I asked my son, out loud, what about Sara? and he said: what Sara? I complemented him with Taco and he repeated, surprised, Sara Taco? Then those who got the hint started laughing.

One day I was walking down a sidewalk with my daughter-in-law, there was a woman sitting on the sidewalk plucking her eyebrows, a behavior that I think should be done in the privacy of the home and not in the street, there my other weakness came out, my implacable critic, then I said, "No, my daughter, don't even swear, you'll look just as ugly," I said this to my daughter-in-law, but obviously it was for the woman, and I continued walking as if nothing had happened. My daughter-in-law laughed and came back telling the joke, but something told me that I should moderate this bad habit.

I have had fits of laughter when I see people do things that are ridiculous, and I have not been able to ignore the situation and that even though it may be funny and it becomes a joke, well, it's not right, obviously, it's not right.

The need to control and impose my vision is something that I have been leaving behind little by little, because I am learning and I control myself, I realize, before saying something, and I stop, but that's how we are, we are not perfect and some weaknesses are correctable and with others, nothing happens.

Thank you for your kind reading.
