But I've learned if I take complete responsibility for three projects, that doesn't leave time to be tangentially involved in three other projects. Even though I hate to occasionally ask someone else to drive my grandmoter to an appointment and give up repsonsibility, it means I get to do other things I love- like spend time wth people like you.

I can only hope that there as just as many young men and women who can be as insightful about their shortcomings, but it's the short comings that make us so much more interesting in my opinion. And, in some (weird) way - the shortcoming on the flip side is a strength in another way. I think what matters is being able to rein in the weakness and turn it into something that adds to your strengths.
