There’s another version of this that covers 10 core weaknesses—the ones most people never notice because they feel normal.

But this is the Extended Edition.

It covers 10 new weaknesses—traps just as deadly as the originals, but often hidden even deeper.

Most people don’t fail because of one big blow-up. They fail because of quiet compromises—habits and mindsets that feel harmless but rot away strength, one day at a time.

If you missed the original, you’ll want to read that too. But right now, we’re digging deeper.

Flexibility is useful—but without a backbone, it’s a weakness.


2. Avoiding Boredom Instead of Mastery

You chase novelty, constantly switching tasks, tools, or projects.

Why? Because boredom feels uncomfortable.

But mastery is built in the boring moments—repetitions, fine-tuning, relentless practice.
Avoid boredom, and you avoid growth.


You’ve made it this far.
