I'm not sure your entire point was missed, at least on my part. I'd like to take a brief moment to clarify what may have been misinterpreted by the sentence selected from the context of the entire post. It was not my intent to imply my only goal is to identify my limitations (again, I speak only for me). Training is important and I tend to think that knowing my own personal limitations is part and parcel of training in which I engage.

To me, training is also taking feedback about my performance and making adjustments. Once those limitations are identified, I should modify what I do to address those concerns. Essentially I was merely commenting that there may be situations in which I personally may not yet be at the level I could, which does not mean I stop trying to reach my desired level; but if placed in a situation wherein I could not be as successful as I would like, it is something with which I would have to cope.

Hopefully that clarified my random thoughts. Either way, your post served a purpose in that it generated much thought and discussion. Regardless of whether or not members totally agree with another's position, these types of discussion are valuable because they encourage a degree of self-reflection and evaluation. I appreciate the fact you started the ball rolling.

The goal is not to simply know your limitations, but to recognize those limitations so that you can improve them. Discover the areas you might be lacking in and then practice those skills until you become good at them.

The point of this thread was pretty much entirely missed... oh well.
