I plan to assess and identify my strengths and weakness. I will learn to manage my emotions properly.…
We tend to obsess over our weaknesses rather than recognizing our strengths, but the strengths quest introduced us to a different philosophy. Instead of dwelling on our weaknesses or desperately trying to turn them into strengths, we should focus on the strengths we already have and built upon them to succeed. The Strengths Quest presentation was my favorite part of the course. The Strengths Quest is a 30-minute online assessment that asks us a series of questions and determines what our five top strengths are based on our choices. The presentation helped us gain insights on how to use our strengths to our advantage. We learned about each of our strengths and how they can help us succeed in academics, work, relationships, and choosing a career.…

Throughout the film Good Night and Good Luck, many character strengths were exhibited. The main characters Edward Murrow and Fred Friendly stand out the most when exhibiting character strengths. Edwards’s courageousness throughout the novel is bar none. To be courageous there is usually a risk involved. For Edward Morrow, his risk was going toe to toe against Senator McCarthey’s attempts to destroy people’s lives and causing a nationwide McCartheyism scare. To fill in McCartheyism is making accusations on an individual of disloyalty or in McCarthey’s time “Communists,” without evidence. There were many incidents where McCarthey was doing this in Good Night and Good Luck, one such as Milo Radulovich. He claimed he was a Communist and discharged him from the Army Air Corps in 1952, “because his father John, had immigrated to Detroit in 1914 from Serbia and was labeled a Communist because he subscribed into a pro-Communists paper from Serbia. The fact that he subscribed to the anti-Communist paper was deemed irrelevant” (pg.17). By putting his neck on the line and challenging the senator he shows justice. He wants equality for everyone; he believes that everyone should be treated equally, even Milo. He also shows extreme wisdom and knowledge while interviewing the senator. Murrow was actually the only one that had it in him to go against his ways and call him out on things that he thought Senator McCarthey was doing wrong, with the night program that he had of See It Now. Murrow has the wisdom and knowledge to not make himself look like a fool on national T.V.…
The topics presented in the media from Character Strengths and Virtues is very important and will definitely impact my behavior when I work with the LEGO kits. The media provided proved to be very useful, but there were several points with which made me realize just how important it was to follow the guidelines that the lectures and and book provided. Patience and taking responsibility for one’s actions are points continuously made. It is important to practice both of these behaviors in order to succeed in life. For example, in the Marshmallow Challenge, young children were given a marshmallow and told that they could eat it, but if they held off for a little while, then they would another. Many of the toddlers took the high road and waited,…
As a writer, there are things that I do well, but there are also things I could improve on to make my writing better. I’m pretty good at getting my point across, and getting people to understand what I’m trying to say. Another thing I’m good at is just writing the paper. Once I get started on a paper it is very easy for me to just keep writing until I’m done with it. However, when doing this I tend to not use the best grammar and be too wordy with my writing. I can definitely fix these issues, and continue to build on the things that I do well.…
The 16 Personaliy Trait Test is more accurate than the True Colors Tests, because I am stubborn and I am relaxed. My big weakness is that I am very stubborn. Sometimes I can be stubborn if I do not want to do something like, putting fence posts in. When I do not want to do it I will get really bored and just not do it. When I get this stubborn the work does not get done and my grandpa ends up having more work to do. He is already a very busy man and becuase of my stubborness he ends up being even busier. Something that was also true on the 16 Personality Trait Test is that I am relaxed, which is a strength of mine. An example of when I am relaxed is during a football game. While my teammates are…

Until very recently, many did not perceive insurance business as a crucial financial service mainly because the purchase of insurance service does not involve the exchange of any physical product (Babington-Ashaye, 2009). Although it is intangible, insurance is a crucial business service that creates and adds value. It lubricates the oil of business by being the risk bearer. Its importance is better appreciated when disaster of whatever magnitude…
Recognizing your personal strengths may not be as simple as you may first think. Knowing and understanding these skills, personality traits, and job qualities is a must in today's work society. Once these characteristics are understood and identified, you can begin to think about your weaknesses, which are generally more difficult to admit. Realizing your own weaknesses, and being able to admit them to your team is the first step in creating a positive learning team. When team members asses their strengths and weaknesses, it allows the other team members to fill in the positive and negative qualities between each other; thus resulting in a well-balanced learning team. Having a well-balanced learning team is an important milestone in recognizing and building work ethics, skills, and improving known traits and qualities.…

Everyone has his or her own weaknesses; it is what you do with it that makes you who you are.…
