Strengths are found in everyone, no two persons share the same qualities. I know what my strengths are and how I use them on a daily basis. My strengths help me grow as a person and help others. If everyone focused on their strengths they would notice they help more people than they seem to.
My strongest strength is that I am an outgoing person that will go to the extent of doing anything for anyone person. Being outgoing is helpful in making new friends, being confident, and getting along with whomever may cross my path. Since I am outgoing and it is easy for me to confidently go up and talk to someone makes making friends extremely easy. In high school there was a girl that started my school in the middle of the year. By that time all the “groups” were made, and the group you were in consisted of the only people you spoke to. I didn’t believe in having one specific

Being open minded allows be to hear what people that to say, and even if I don’t agree with what they say, I do not put them down but ask questions on why they believe in what they do. Also it helps with looking forward to the future by not dwelling on the past. I encountered a substitute teacher that tried to make his views on Christianity sound as though they best views one could give. He said that God was in fact real, and when I asked “how are you so sure”? He answered with the Bible, I asked “how are you so sure the Bible was written that long ago”? That is where took a step back to think. He admitted that he wasn’t so sure on all that he was saying, but that he was testing the students on how open minded they were. I was told by him that I asked questions in proper manner, without stated that he was wrong or that I was right. But to ask questions into making one think, which helps a person realize that no one is ever 100% correct about
These strengths and weaknesses were mainly discovered through the papers that we have written. I have many strengths when I’m writing papers and at the same time, I have many weaknesses. In my papers, I have noticed that one of my biggest strengths is how articulate I am. The papers that have been written by myself show that I structured sentences to present ideas in different ways. It is not straightforward and boring when ideas are presented. I like to keep the reader hooked on my paper. In order to keep up with this strength, I like to read articles. The articles I read are typically the ones that present new ideas or start arguments. This is one of my strengths that I am very proud

Millions use StrengthsFinder for its unique capacity in charting any individual’s top five talents. The ability to uncover one’s particular set of talents is a discovery that can lead to further development and wisdom in one’s life.
However, in some ways the approach seems that it neglects important components in how children can learn from their mistakes. The synonyms for strength are courage, power, stability and main force, it is these words that help provide children with the ability to move forward. Using the Strengths Approach can in some ways help children to see past their weaknesses and strive to develop on their strengths but in order to find your strengths you must test out and find the gap between them. “Simply focusing on people’s strengths is not enough to liberate people from oppressive realities” (McCashen, 2005, p. 2). The approach hides the ability to sort out the weakness and “not able to give a complete picture of a child” (DEECD, 2012, p. 8) therefore the approach is designed to neglect the areas in need of further
My five strengths according to the strength finder include; balance, this helps me be aware of treating all people equally regardless of the situation. I am neither in anyone 's favor or against anyone as this to me is selfishness and individualism. This would result in a situation where some people scale heights due to connections while others are lagging behind. I believe that a consistent environment where the rules apply to everyone is the best for individuals to function best (Rath, 2007). Flexibility is my next strength. By knowing that things do not always work out as planned has helped me change the tactics of how I perform my tasks. I do not always expect to have a smooth flow of opportunities or accomplish goals, but

I think my main strength is Life Purpose and Service. I am fulfilling my reason for being here by continuing my education at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point and in having chosen my major, Clinical Lab Science. Part of the reason I chose this major is because I enjoy helping people and am passionate about the field. I love helping people in any way I can, I have volunteered for many organizations such as City on a Hill, a volunteer organization where underprivileged people can go to receive food, and health care (physicians, eye doctors, podiatrists, etc). I also volunteer with youth groups in church (Music and Drama camp and Vacation Bible School). I find a significant purpose and fulfillment out of helping others.
First, a student who wants to be successful should be open-minded. For example, in The Allegory of the Cave, Plato, who is a well-known Greek ancient philosopher and teacher, uses prisoners to symbolize the importance of education and how things you are already used to is hard to adjust because you are not open-minded. “…eyes may be confused in two ways and from two causes, namely, when they’ve come from light into the darkness and when they’ve come from darkness into light” (Plato 5). The prisoners were chained by their necks and legs since their childhood that kept their bodies tuned one way. They saw statues of people, and animals made out of wood because of the light provided by the fire. One day a prisoner was freed, but it was hard for him to adjust to the sunlight because he was already used to living in the dark cave. It was even harder for him to adjust back to the darkness because he was already adjusting to the sunlight. After being in the sunlight for so long, he wasn’t able to see the shadows; he saw before because he adjusted to the sunlight. A person who is open-minded about others opinions could learn from them because their views may be
One strength I saw myself, as having when I enter college is being able to understand and critical think about a essay/article that I have read. However, after taking English 101, I have now learned that this is a strength of mine as well as a weakness.
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.

For personal and professional growth, given my personality traits, I need to embrace my strengths and weaknesses. I must use my strengths to my advantage, to be more effective academically and in the workplace, but I also need to identify and try to overcome my weaknesses, especially professionally.
I would describe some of strengths as being able to define clear objectives when working in group settings whether it is in the working world or in academic settings and communicating clearly to the rest of the people in my group when I am in the lead or not. I communicate clearly to other people what I want to achieve out of working in a group, but also what I want them to achieve themselves. As a leader it is imperative that I allow other people in the group to learn and grow along with the rest of the group. I enjoy defining clear objectives when I am a leader and not a leader because it provides the rest of my peers an efficient way of working together. If the objectives are not clear and concise then the productivity of the group will

Knowing yourself and what you can do, can help you recognize and overcome your weaknesses.

She said for my weaknesses that I can sometimes be selfish when it comes to work because I care about me succeeding more then others, she also said that me being a loyal friend is also a weakness because I care about them as much as I care about myself, and finally she said that I can sometimes get distracted easily. According to my brother my strengths are that I am very studious when it comes to school and work, also that I am very determined in life,
