"In most cases, strengths and weaknesses are..." - Quote by Steve Jobs
In most cases, strengths and weaknesses are two sides of the same coin. A strength in one situation is a weakness in another, yet often the person can't switch gears. It's a very subtle thing to talk about strengths and weaknesses because almost always they're the same thing.

“Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.”
“We just wanted to build the best thing we could build”
“I don't think I've ever worked so hard on something, but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands, it wouldn't be ours anymore.”
More on Strengths
“Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information.”
“A forte always makes a foible.”
“I am aware of the talent I was gifted and had to execute against it. It is just being very self aware and betting on your best strength.”
More on Weaknesses
“You cannot build performance on weaknesses. You can build only on strengths.”
“A person can perform only from strength. One cannot build performance on weakness, let alone on something one cannot do at all.”
“Winners evaluate themselves in a positive manner and look for their strengths as they work to overcome weaknesses.”
