As people like to believe they are different or unique, we all relatively have the same mind-set as far as our weakest or strongest qualities go. While one group’s greatest strength might be forgiveness, it might be another group’s greatest weakness. It is important for people to know what their greatest weaknesses and strengths are because theses qualities help define who people are. Furthermore, it is crucial for people to not only focus on their negative qualities, but to also focus on their positive qualities. Upon taking the “VIA Survey of Character Strengths,” I learned what my top five strengths are, how my weakest strength is also one of my top strengths, and how I already incorporate them into my everyday life. My first strength is …show more content…
I believe this is a great strength to have, but I also see it as a weakness. I believe being this way has helped me in having fewer regrets, but I also realize it has caused me to take less risks. When people are overly cautious, they tend to fear the worst of situations, which could cause them to stray from improving themselves because they are hesitant. For example, my husband and I have wanted to move for a couple years and I always feared we might end up not receiving suitable jobs and end up living pay check to pay check. However, I realized after many years, we could have come across different opportunities than we have had in Dalhart, TX. I feel we have lived a great life here, but I also believe there is so much more out there and my fear has held us back a little in pursing certain life events. In addition, it is important to not act on impulse, but it is equally important to not remain overly cautious. My capacity to love and to be loved is my fifth greatest strength. I absolutely love this strength, as love in the most important thing in my life, no matter the context. I feel it is important to surround yourself with loved ones as feeling lonely can have negative impacts on the things you do every day. In addition, it is important that the people you surround yourself with, show you the same appreciation as love goes both …show more content…
I have noticed for a while now that I control my emotions. I realize how easy it is to snap out of negativity, even though it may seem hard. In addition, one thing in life that I always strive to remember is that I cannot control everything and that stressing over things that I cannot control is a waste of energy. I went through a small rough patch in my life a couple years ago and finally had to tell myself to either let it go and move forward, or to remove myself from the situation, because continuing to feel the way I was feeling everyday was only going to make matters worse and ruin the best parts of me. When I finally did that, I felt so much better because I made a decision and stuck to it. When I had let my emotions control me, I was a wreck and hated who I was becoming; therefore, I wish everyone could have more control over their emotions as living with uncontrolled emotions takes a toll on everyday
When taking the two different personality tests, I received the same result for both. I am considered to have an ISFJ (Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging) personality type. These personality tests I believe help believe get more in depth with the type of person they are but also help them to see there are other people in the world that are like them. A few known people that are similar to my personality type are mother Teresa, and Barbra Bush. Along with learning about others like me, I was able to realize more into my strengths and weaknesses.

I have found that mindfulness has a calming effect on my emotions. Sometimes it is difficult for me to practice mindfulness when I am feeling a significant amount of stress or anxiety, but practicing it every day I feel has helped to regulate my emotions. I have been able to separate myself from my thoughts by doing mindfulness that helps me to identify and label thoughts as simply thoughts that come and go. I have also been more present in the current moment and appreciated what was going on around me. I had increased awareness of the colors, shapes, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures.
According to the strength finder survey, my five greatest strengths are: positivity , restorative, includer , adaptability, and responsibility (Gallup,2017). However, I knew I had the strengths of showing positivity and responsibility. I'm also ecstatic about finding out about the other three.
My five greatest strengths are: includer, restorative, belief, positivity, and empathy according to the Strengths Finder Survey. I have basically just been myself. I really enjoy making everyone feel that they are special, all God 's children are special. We are all God 's children and we all need to love and support each other. No one is any better than the other, but we can make good choices in life. But we are all the same, with the same choices. If we see someone going through something , as Christians we are suppose to through it with them. Learn to listen, pray and try to give them the best advice that we have to offer. When we are going through something, we must say and believe,but God. He is our strength and refuge. We must always try to look for the good in people. Avoid the negative thoughts. We can change and so can others. When i see people, I can sometimes, see the pain in their faces.I feel the sadness and just want to help. In any way possible. Life is short. We need help anyone around us.to see their
Most of my strengths are my drive and passion for living life. I am a very driven person in what I want and the path to get there, and my strengths are key factors in creating that in me. I was raised to never say the word “can’t” and that sticks with me every single day in everything that I do. Every day is a new day and I
One of my strengths that I have as a writer is I like telling story so I always come up with a story because when I write I always have a planned story in my mind and I just put it down words on paper. Also before write I plan what I am going to write. This way of writing is very effective because usually I gather research and write down the important points and my own explanations. In fall quarter, I had a research paper instead of a midterm exam. My strengths as a writer helped me very much in my research paper and I got A grade in that
I gave this paper a lot of thought before I began to write. ?What qualities and traits do I posses that make me desirable as an employee, a teammate, and as a person?? First, you must be able to identify your own personal strengths and weaknesses in order to become a lifelong learner and an essential part of a ?team?. As technology is constantly growing you have to be willing to accept what makes you an asset or a liability in any given situation you may encounter in your life. The qualities and traits that I feel make me a valuable entity to my employers, co-workers, classmates and within my personal relationships are varied. I will go on to describe some of the attributes I think are most important in establishing and maintaining successful relationships whether personal or work related.
On occasion friends and family have applauded my ability to live life on my chosen terms. They express envy with my ability to take chances in the absence of fear. This notion is surprising, as I remember long ago, rarely getting out of my comfort zone. For those that assume I do not consider fear, I quickly remind them of my experiences with fear. The key, however, is to not accept ownership of fear. People have pointed out moments in my life; attending college ten
When it comes to my schoolwork, I tend to be extremely conscientious, diligent, and ambitious. A few of my academic strengths are my organizational skills and ability to think critically. A weakness that I have is test taking; while taking tests I become nervous, and forget the information. I become upset with myself if I earn a C on a test or in a class. Then I consider what I could have done differently to receive a higher grade and apply it to future assignments. I react this way when it comes to my studies, because my dad used to get upset with us if we received anything below a B in specific subjects. For example, if we got a C in math my dad would say, “You don’t know how to count? I guess I will stop giving you money since you cannot count it.” He would also reward us for being able to count and getting good grades. When I was a little girl, he used to put out money and give us 30 seconds to count it, if we counted
Emotions play an essential role in our everyday lives and the majority of individuals are not consciously aware about it. Based on how someone’s emotions are for that day, depends on what kind of day that person will have. In essence, the person’s day is impacted by their emotions. The question whether or not a person can control their emotions voluntarily varies from person to person. In some cases, people are able to handle their emotions depending on the situation they're in. For instance, a person cannot lash out on another person because it is not socially acceptable. However, some people do and let their emotions get the better of them. The controlling of one’s emotion is known as emotional regulation. Emotional regulation is the ability
The definition of personality is the development of the organized pattern of behaviors and attitudes that makes a person distinctive. A personality is what make the people of our society different from everyone else. Every person on this earth has their very own personality. In some cases there may be things a like, but the personality trait combinations are not always the same. My personality consists of these three traits: hard-working, determined, and friendly.
A reason that this country works well is that everyone has diverse abilities which can contribute to everyday life. Some people let those abilities shine at work, in their personal life or both. As people have their strengths, they also have their weaknesses. There is a problem to improve those weaknesses when the weakness is not identified. Once the weak point is identified it needs to be resolved. A plan of action for improvement helps in solving the situation. In this paper, I will identify abilities and skills that I possess that contribute positively in my work environment, in my personal life, and in my learning team. I will also identify personal areas that need improvement, and outline a plan of action for improvement.
For this assignment I decided to pick a top strength to further embrace and a lower strength to work on making better. My second highest ranking on the assessment and the strength I chose to further embrace was kindness and generosity. This character strength is characterized as being kind to others and happy to do favors for anyone even if you don’t know them well. The second strength I chose to focus on was my absolute bottom strength: Forgiveness and Mercy. This is characterized as not holding a grudge or seeking revenge but rather letting the feud settle and forgiveness and mercy overcome you. The week I spent working on these strengths had many ups and downs but I feel as though they ultimately came to a successful conclusion and a place where I can continue to grow from.
Hi, my name is Rob Geis and I am currently in grade 12. I have been at County High School for a year now; I joined at the start of 11th grade, and have thoroughly enjoyed myself here. The school is great, the people are fantastic and the atmosphere is one that makes you actually want to go to school. Before I joined ASB I was studying at the Singapore American School for two years and prior to that I was at the International School of Kuala Lumpur for two years. I was born and raised here in Bombay city and grew up here.
