in homer's illiad, achilles is a greek legendary hero and a son of peleus and thetis, he was said to be the bravest and the strongest because he was dipped in the river called styx which made him invincible. but since his mother held him in his heel this part was not dipped in the river which made it his most vulnerable part, he died when he was shot on it. and why i was saying this? like achilles, we also have our own weak part, a part which is our most vulnerable. i admit as a person i also have my achilles heel, one of it is my inferiority complex, this thing hinders me to achieve what i truly want to achieve, most of the time i fear trying new things, i fear innovating myself which made me just an ordinary me. i know its not healthy so i made myself a promise to be more daring in inventing for my self growth and eventually become a better person. how about you dear friends? do you have your achilles heel? kindly tell it to us.

HEELS! You know what, Mari? This may sound a bit off, but I bet you have beautiful heels. Is there any chance that you would upload a pic of your feet?
