Strengths and Weaknesses

I have plenty of both and get frustrated with people who say otherwise about themselves. If you have something you consider a strength then say so! If you have a weakness then my thinking is "Dang, welcome to the human race, let's make it in to a strength!"

I'm seeking someone who isn't intimidated by either my strengths or weaknesses and just wants to help me grow. I'm really a pretty simple person and like it that way.

Strengths:

- Empathy, understanding and concern for people.
- Most technologies
- Leadership (but NOT management)
- Vision
- Determination
- Positive attitude
- Crisis management
- Real faith (not the wishy-washy crap)
- "Low maintenance" personally. I can do a LOT on practically nothing.

Weaknesses:

- You definitely don't want to be around me when I'm sick. It's not pretty. I can get real cranky if it's bad but usually prefer just to retreat to the bed and read a book. Fortunately, I rarely get sick. :)

- If I'm trying to understand something I tend to ask a ton of probing questions, rapid fire, and I've noticed this really bugs people sometimes. It's just me trying to comprehend something but I need to slow down, have patience, and remember I'm learning from a human being not a computer. They haven't invented the computer that goes fast enough for me.

- I'm not the best cook, snowboarder, or waterskier... though I do try. :)   My outdoor preferences will always be hiking, biking and camping.
