Writing some of the weaknesses in the elaboration and their corresponding strengths 

•You're boring your readers to tears

How to spot whether you're boring your readers:-

If you feel bored writing your content, then this is a sign something isn't working. Or perhaps you don't know who your ideal reader is or you don't like them? 

•Lack of focus  

It's a common misunderstanding that content has to be comprehensive to be good.

How to spot this weakness in your writing:- 

Can you distil the essence of your content in one sentence?

If you can't, try this exercise:

1). Write down in one sentence which problem your content solves

2). Define in one sentence the "sunny destination" of your content: how does your content make your reader's life better?

Remember, your content makes an impact when it makes your reader's life better —even if the improvement is tiny. 

•Lack of substance

Substance goes hand in hand with having a clear focus on your content 

How to spot whether your writing lacks substance:-

Consider adding more substance:-

A personal story, a metaphor, research results, quotes from experts or testimonials, avoid common mistakes, answer to the readers' questions, suggestions on overcoming hurdles  

 

Long-winded sentences 

How to spot long-windedness in your writing:-

To reduce your average sentence length, chop the longest sentences into two or three. Communicate one tiny idea in each sentence, and ensure each sentence follows the previous one logically—don't jump ahead as you may lose your reader.

Vary long and short sentences, and try keeping your average sentence length to 14 words max. An occasional long or very long sentence is fine.

This way, if we cover up all these hurdles to becoming a good writer, then there will be no debility in any piece you write 

Practice fixing your weaknesses—that’s how your content improves 

Conclusion

If you consider your life precious, you must make sure you make a wonderful life out of this. Whatever opens up in that direction, that is the thing you should do. But, when you are under the pressure of peers, somebody says, he's going to America, somebody says something, else. So one thing that all of you should do. Before you make big decisions in your life, withdraw from the pressures of peers, professors or parents, and everybody. Just spend three days to one week by yourself. Look at it, what does this life want to do, do that it doesn't matter, what other people think about it.
