Personal Strengths And Weaknesses

“My attitude is if you push me towards something you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength” Michael Jordan.  Knowing your weakness and strength is an important thing in life.   It can help you succeed by knowing the things you need to improve.   In writing, my strengths are in the content of my papers and the conventions.

Henroedipus Knowing one’s strengths and abilities helps people every day to face life’s challenges, whether choosing a career or tackling a home repair project. People constantly learn about themselves, and this knowledge helps people to succeed in everyday life. This concept of understanding oneself is not new; rather, the concept has survived since ancient society. According to the ancient Greeks, “knowing thyself” was an integral part of happiness and success. Both Oedipus from Oedipus Rex and Henry from The Red Badge of Courage face challenges because of not “knowing thyself”; even though the two characters share this burden, their dilemmas vary in essence.

After knowing what my weaknesses are, I usually try to solve them and improve my skills. For example, I’m not a highly flexible and positive person, so I seek out to individuals who are flexible and positive in their lives and ask for their advice. Another strength that I have is that I usually have a positive outlook of my improvement, because I have seen examples of those who overcome their hardships and become successful in life, so I believe that if I try hard enough, I will be able to overcome my weaknesses. I’m also confident with my listening skills and my ability to focus on others and make them feel heard. I like to start on works and projects early so that if anything comes up, I will still have time to handle it.

These characteristics may be good or bad, but individuals can learn from them and overcome the

Individuals within society are influenced by the socio-economic factors of the society which they inhabit. This essay will discuss Sociological imagination which was first mentioned by author C.W. Mills who wrote a book with the same title. The personal problem that will be discussed is childhood trauma, because it is broad this essay will focus more on depression and how it effects society on a larger scale.

1.1 Introduction In today’s environment, the ownership is on us, as an individual to take responsibility for our own development, rather than expecting our organization to do it for us.

As a college freshmen, there is no doubt that I still have a long ways to go in order to achieve my academic goals. And through this journey, I know that I will encounter highs and lows just as I experienced in the past, most notability in high school. I keenly remember instances around this time where I doubted my abilities when subjects like math was proving to be difficult, even when I was trying to put in effort to stay on track. I was struggling in math because I did not try to identify my weaknesses, and never tried to come up with solutions to fix my problems. Rather, I chose to give up on math and settle with a grade barely passing.

ISFJ I am an ISFJ, but I have some strengths and weakness. I am a person that likes to share my information and experience of my work. I like to be careful about what I do and what might be done wrong. I am a person that hears what others are talking about and feel their emotions.

What is one weakness you have? A weakness that I have is that I can be too empathetic with people. I am an emotional person, especially with certain subjects. But that could be helpful when I am talking with customers, that I will be able to relate to them, and what they are trying to say.

This semester, I am enrolled in Professional Media Writing, and my goals are to grow in my ability to clearly describe a scenario, as well as expand my vocabulary.

Through this class I hope to identify points of strength and weakness in my writing. At Northwest, I am a student leader for a campus ministry called the Navigators.

As discussed in Singh (2005), through the centuries personality has been regarded as a practical force in determining success or failure in life. If the person has some socially undesirable traits, he inherited them from his parents. The implication is that neither training nor desire to improve will be of any avail. The implication is that since the physical traits are inherited and thus not subject to change, the personality traits that accompany them are similarly implacable to change (p.122). Scientific psychology emerged after philosophical psychology and new experimental life sciences or better to say experimental psychology joined each other.

There are many different traits that people possess that make them individuals, for me, the most important or prominent trait would probably be my need to always have things planned out in advance and as well as possible. I gained this trait mainly through elementary school, I was very unorganized throughout most of it and even though I wanted to be getting good grades, I was always losing and forgetting about my homework. Over time I think I just started to sort of overcompensate by being much more organized that I need to be. While it can sometimes be hard to plan out everything as much as I would like, it has been very helpful for me in the past with school work and all of my jobs I’ve had for me to be pretty good at organization and time

In this Bachelor Paper the main focus is on personal success characteristics and how these traits can be trained. Internal traits determine the way how one behaves, talks and acts.
