I am not completelly lost because I am good for some things.
However, I am not so good for some other things.
Should I develop in the fields where I am very good or should I try to be good where I am fallen?

My advice is to spend most of your energy developing what you find easy and exciting always keeping in mind what in the long term can also serve you to earn a living.
In those areas where you are not so god or very bad (as you put it), spend energy only in those areas where you feel being slightly better than very bad can help you in life. i.e. if you are totally bad in math, learning basics that you need to get by in life is important, but you may opt out of studying nuclear physics.
By focusing on what you find easy and exciting, there is a better chance that you will become better than most in those fields, all to your advantage. By focusing your energy on things you find really difficult, you will only end up being mediocre at best.
Good Luck.

Balance is the key. The world is not one-dimenional. Therefore, it is always beneficial to have some basic understanding in various fields.
For example, you may not need to learn to be a car mechanic, however, it will be very useful if you know how to drive a car.
Having said that, from a career/school perspective, it is always strategically important to be very good in something. That's what sets you apart from the rest of the folks.

You've heard the saying..."A Jack of all trades, but a Master of none". It isn't wholly clear whether that is good or bad. I'd say that you should keep your options open. Become a Master of something are good at but always be open to develop other proficiencies, especially those you enjoy.

It's actually better for you to try to develop the fields you're NOT so good at. In this way, you'll learn new skills and your brain will remain active.

Maintain whatever or whichever you are good at and try to develop the ones you fall behind. Reading additional information/examples, or practicing, or taking tutorials, to which you're weak at will help you acquire/develop it.

Both ways: where you're good, excel and become an expert. Where you're slow, learn and be able then become competent. Later on, you might just find that your aptitude toward those you are deficient is higher and then you balance everything out.

try to do things that are the hardest for you to do. If you can become more adept at these, you will be an unstoppable force with fewer weaknesses

Yeah go for what you are good at and stay away from involved men with children and you should be all set.
