Genius or not spending more time, money and effort on building strengths instead of trying to fix 'wrong" would be a good thing.

There is also the concept that the time and energy you have isn't a zero sum game. If you spend all your time doing stuff you hate you will quickly run out of energy. If you do stuff you like you can keep going and going like the "Energizer Bunny." So, spending time on stuff you like may actually allow you to spend more stuff on stuff you need to do but don't like.
