Strengths and Weaknesses
The objective of this paper is to show you the personal strengths and weakness that I identified by asking friends and family their opinion on the topic regarding yours truly, and by examining myself for areas that I am really good at (also known as strengths) and areas I need to improve (otherwise known as weaknesses). After I have identified them, I will tell you how recognizing my strengths and weakness can help me to improve myself to achieve a more peaceful and satisfying personal life.
I will start with the unflattering information first and list my most obvious weaknesses.

My weaknesses were hard for me to identify but with the help of friends I was suddenly very informed on what they were! I was able to identify one weakness on my own and it is impatience. There is an old saying that patience is a virtue. Any single one of my friends will agree with me that patience has never been one of my virtues. I want everything done right now and all the questions answered immediately. Given the chance I would go straight from A to C and would skip the B without a moments' hesitation. My second weakness combined with impatience makes the situation even more pronounced. I am very impulsive which can be a good thing on occasion but usually ends up being a bad thing. I do not think about what I am going to do or say next or moderate the tone I say it in. I often sound very irritated and come across as being rude when that is not really true. In reality, I am just frustrated because things aren't happening as quickly as I want them to. The last major weakness that I identified with the help of my loving husband was stubbornness. I inherited the trait from my dad of course. Once I have made up my mind on an idea or action not many people can easily persuade me to do or think something different. I often tenaciously stick to my guns, even after I might realize that I am wrong and someone else may be right. When I do realize that I am without a

    My blind spot is I can trust to easily at times. Another weakness is feeling bad about decision I had to make because the outcome could be upsetting or hurtful to others. This is when I feel that my best isn’t good enough. Another weakness I have is believing that everyone I come into contact with thinks like me and can be rational like I am. I believe that my way in thinking is very logical because I try to see things from everyone’s point of view so I feel everyone should be that way. If a person does something different from how I would have handled a situation I feel that they did not handle the situation properly or that they didn’t make the right decision. Another weakness is I can find myself very overwhelmed in decision making and it can cause me to isolate myself or shut down from everything happening around me until I can come to a solution. The same thing can happen if I find that I have hurt someone close to me as well.…

    I feel I have many different strengths. One of which I think stands out the most is that I’m willing to take criticism. When I get scowled by someone, I don’t take it as something negative right away. Instead I will sit down and reflect on the situation before coming to a conclusion. Many people will think the person yelling at them is terrible but I think it’s the opposite. This is because the person actually cares enough about you to point out your weaknesses so that you know and be able to fix them. A weakness of mine…

    My weaknesses are defined as believing that my best is good enough. I feel as though I am content as long as I have succeeded. I can sometimes cause upset and pain unintentionally because of this. Another weakness is thinking because someone does not do things my way that it is not being done properly. I tend to become narrow minded. The ELI states I can become judgmental. It also states I may hold to high of expectations for those around me, and I can be an overachiever. It also said I should be careful not to cause failure for myself but putting too much on my plate. Many of my weaknesses can be very hurtful, and I need to be very aware of them.…

    It did not surprise me that my areas of weakness were physical, psychological, and spiritual. The weaknesses are by choice for me. If I were given the choice to get a massage or spend time with a life long friend that I have not seen in some time, the choice would be easy for me. The time spent with the friend would be much more valuable to me than the massage.…

    My weaknesses are self righteousness and entitlement. I tend to forget that people have free will, and I base my decisions based in my own perspective. This makes my decisions weak because it lacks constructive criticism. I am tempted to base my decisions in what is advantageous instead of what is just. I can also persuade myself that only the consequences of an action make a decision good or bad and I will not bother to take into consideration the process to attain such good. This can result in good actions driven by bad decisions or preventing me from doing a good and efficient job.…
