Strengths VS Weaknesses - We’ve all got them!
Face your weaknesses to find your strengths!
Let’s start off with some of my weaknesses first, just to cleanse your palette with a little bit of the rough patches that are within my personality traits.
Weakness:
1. Extremely self critical 2. Hate asking questions 3. Mix of Procrastination & Perfectionism
These are the 3 main areas that I would target for my weaknesses. I am extremely self critical on the work that I do with regards to absolutely anything in my life. Be with school work, cooking, friendships or even buying clothes for myself! It’s a little silly to think that being TOO self critical is a bad thing, but it’s almost something that I dwell on because I critique myself too much when it comes to my life. 😅 Another weakness about me if that I hate asking questions. I feel like when I ask a question it makes it seem like I do not know what I am doing. I hate to feel “dumb” for lack of better terms, so I try my best to make sure that I can do the best that I can before I really have to ask a question. Now onto my third example of my weakness, which is the procrastination and perfectionism of my well-being. Procrastination is a “ya ya ya I’ll do it tomorrow.” This gets to me with being a FT worker, and always being on the go! I seem to push things till I start to stress myself out with deadlines that are approaching. Sometimes I like to tell myself that I work better under the time restraints and the procrastination lifestyle, but am i really? It’s off because as much as a procrastinator that I am, I am also very much so a perfectionist. Everything. Has. To. Be. PERFECT. Otherwise, what’s the point? This is one of my weaknesses as it tends to make tasks that I am doing take even longer than they need to be, and it’s wasting my time on other things that I could be doing that are useful elsewhere!
OKAY. Phew, now that THAT is over.... Onwards & upwards, let’s learn about the good strengths about me, shall we?
Strengths:
1. Exceptional leadership skills 2. Persistent 3. Team player 4. Organization and committed
With all the weaknesses that I have there are some strengths that come from within me as well. My exceptional leadership skills, if I do say do myself are what I am known for. I take charge with all team work related assignments or endeavours. It’s the inner “take charge” personality trait that I have, I like to be in control and know what is going on at all times. It does come in handy when working with others because I have come across many co-workers/students that like to sit off on the sidelines until things get a little too heated or when the assignment/project is coming due and they jump in. Another strength is my persistent attitude. I like to be on top of things, be in the know and get the work done when working with others (it’s a little different when I am working on a solo project assignment) Being a team player is helpful when working within school as many student do rely on me to help hem when they have questions or when they think that talking to me would give them a better sense of direction to go. Lastly, I am a very organizational person and extremely committed to whatever I do. I like to give 120% in my work, to make sure that what I am doing is getting done to it’s fullest capabilities.
Well, now that you know a little bit more about me let me know a little bit more about you!!
