Weak End

Do you look forward to the weekend?  Usually the term refers to Saturday and Sunday.  Those two days often provide a break from the regular work week and people may use the time for fun or relaxation. 

However, the term can mean something different if you modify the spelling.  While a weekend can be a good thing, a weak end also can have a positive effect.  The word "weak" is the opposite of strong.  If you think about weakness ending, then it follows that strength begins, or appears.  Are there things that you're dealing with that need a weak end?  What do you want to strengthen or improve?  Common things associated with the word "weak" include economy, link, and drink.

• A weak economy indicates financial instability.  Are there weaknesses in your personal economy? Do you need to earn more or save more?  Do you need to spend less or pay off debt? Maybe you need to do all of these things.  However, you probably can't do them all at the same time.  Focus on one weak end to help your economy right now.  Once that weak end is succeeds, move on to the next one.  There are numerous books and web sites to assist you. As simple as it sounds, a budget will help you track your spending and highlight areas for improvement.

• A weak link can lead to a broken connection.  There was a game show years ago called The Weakest Link.  The host was a petite, stern looking British lady.  When someone would get eliminated from the game, her standard line was "you are the weakest link, goodbye".  It was an abrupt dismissal that left no room for a response.  You don't need to use her exact words, but the principle can be used to strengthen your relationships. Some people and some things just need to be dismissed.

• A weak drink is considered one that does not have a lot of alcohol in it.  The term can be a metaphor for something unexpected.  You prepare to receive one thing, but you get something else.  Don't underestimate the significance of a person, challenge, or situation because the impact doesn't hit you right away.   Subtlety can often be the first layer before substance and opportunity.
