What a nice quote...
Yes, even a single mild weakness is enough to destroy a person as whole..
Perhaps it may his anger, shyness, frankness or anything...
If that weak point is the determining factor of an action, it counts a lot even if he is proficient in many other things...

Now I remember the story of a Brahmin scholar who ridicules the oarsman for not knowing vedas, upanisheds etc. He knows everything, but doesn't know to swim. Later, you all know well

... and when the boat is on the verge of sinking, the boat man says to the Brahmin, 'If you don't know swimming, your entire life is wasted.' Saying this, the boat man jumps to safety while the Brahmin drowns in the swift current. Thank you Sandhya for reminding me a story that i like.

In my childhood, my teacher suggested me to give more stress on the subject in which I am weak. I was weak in maths. Today my maths is good. I use to practice maths daily.
If something is weak, we need to make it strong. A person can never be the best in all sphere. He will have both strong and weak aspects too. He should face it.
