RE: Introducing Myself: Tales of an Expat Code Slinging Crypto-Enthusiast (Part 1)
Cool. I've decided to take a look at your blog after exchanging comments, and I'll be following you. My sister @fukako, also lived in Japan by the way of her passion for anime. But it was on a scholarship. Do check her stuff out also, since she is continuing on her dream to be a mangaka. :-D
And I really agree on your sentiment about building on your weaknesses. Because the existing strengths are something that you already have, and can use them as a support, but a weakness is something that can turn into an even greater strength. :-)
That reminds me of something my manager said once about performance reviews: a discussion of someone's weaknesses is often more fruitful than discussing strengths, because weaknesses give you something to actually focus on! He also said you should be disappointed if you get a perfect, glowing performance review because then you won't know what you can do to improve over the coming year.
Good luck to your sister! Becoming a mangaka is an awesome dream to have.
