My Weakness
Our achievements speak for themselves. However, when it comes to our setbacks, failures and weaknesses, we feel uncomfortable talking about them. All of us have failed at some time to equal our dreams of perfection or to perform well. The big issue is not our weaknesses; they are part of life. The issue is how we manage these imperfections so that they do not dictate us. Setbacks and weaknesses can be robust stepping stones that lead to growth and maturity. However, utmost care should be taken while mentioning our weaknesses in our application so that we do not inadvertently present ourself in poor light. As we know that nobody is 100% perfect in the world. Each and every individual has some weakness, so as I.
My weaknesses hinder my abilities and are flaws in my personality, which could complicate my relationships with others. One of my weaknesses is arrogance. I am very confident in my abilities that sometimes it might be considered egotism. Another of my weaknesses is that I am somewhat judgmental. I expect others to do their best job, and I can be quick to judge them when they don’t meet my expectations. An important weakness of mine is that I have poor public speaking skills and stage fearness which I could not escape from it. When I have to speak in front of others, I can get very nervous no matter how prepared I am. This could be a problem in the future with presentations I may have to give.
Moreover, one of my personal weaknesses is that I have bad handwriting. I usually write with little or no spaces between words and combine cursive and printing together. My school teacher and my parents often complaint that my work looks like that of a child who doesn't understand English or who thinks faster than he can write. Some of my work, the teacher would not mark because she can't read it. To make up for that, I have spent a lot of time working my computer skills so that I can type long essays and other similar assignments. This has helped me to

    The only weakness I have is adapting to change. I never knew I had this kind of trouble in life, but I learned about something I have to work on. After analyzing it I realize it is a problem. Because I get nervous when I start something new or when I get stuck doing something I cannot do, I start to get frustrated. After learning this about myself, I need to work on making my weakness into strength by adapting to any type of changes in my life. My strengths included following instructions and adhering to values. I am very good when I have instructions in front of me as I build something new or when I have an assignment. Following instructions is my biggest strength in my life because it is something I use every day. Adhering to values is something new that I learned about myself just because I never noticed it in my life. I am the type of person who will stand by the truth in every situation around my.…

    One of my huge weaknesses is low self-esteem and confidence (Bethel University, 2014). Having this as a poor skill in life makes a lot of the other skills hard to conquer. I think if I had a higher confidence level then maybe I wouldn’t struggle so much with public speaking, management of people and seeking support from others. I don’t give myself enough credit and I am hard on myself. Another weakness that I struggle with is the ability to focus on one thing at a time. I have struggled with this quality as far back as I can remember. My mind is always racing and trying to complete more than more thing at a time.…

My strengths are analyzing problems, and doing well through research. ,I tend to think through things and am able to solve a situation through past experiences and use good reason with intuition and imagination, which are all good qualities. I have self - knowledge and can balance responsibility with entrepreneurship. I am self- reliant and expect the same in return.

It is possible to make a difference in one’s weaknesses, it is not an easy task but eventually with motivation, one will succeed.…

    In life, failures occasionally happen. It befalls on everybody. However, failures don’t label us as a person but can build you as one of those experiences. The person who succeeds without first failing hasn't truly learned anything. In failures, there can be a learning experience and an opportunity to develop. Throughout my seventeen years, I've encountered my own share of blunders, each teaching me a new lesson.…

    My weakness include; entitlement, hardness of heart, and confusion. Believing that I am entitled to special privileges and persuade others that my role gives me special rights are inconsistent with good character traits. Hardness of heart comes from experiences of people that did not live up to my expectations. I must develop and practice mindfulness not to be confused on the role that I am identified. Identifying my weakness is important, it allows for self-reflection and…

    My writing was sloppy. The techniques I used to write with in grammar school were bad habits. I often wrote with double spacing, so my papers were only half the length of my peers’. I fancied cursive, which requires more space on the page,shortening my writing further. All the while, I thought my writing was on par with my classmates, and I was…

    Failure is not something an individual can avoid. We all make mistakes because we are imperfect. Thus, we need to look at ways that help us overcome a situation we had failed at. According to “Rich in Thought: Not every Olympian Gets a Medal” by Richard Paloma, he states,” Mistakes are tools for learning- not indicators of poor ability” (paragraph 7). Whether it’s losing a soccer game, failing a test, or coming last in a race we all have failures. Three ways that I have made a mistake, but learned from it are failure’s on a school history final, the loss of my soccer game, and stealing from Target.…

    Throughout my life writing has been very difficult. As a kid a speech impediment impaired my ability to learn to read properly. Because I struggled at reading, I also struggled at writing. In elementary school I went to a special class during lunch to learn how to read and write better. In middle school I went to after school help, but my writing skills always seemed to slip behind the level of the students around me.…

    My Strengths As A Writer

    • 3 Pages

    I have always had faith in my writing capabilities; however, it wasn’t until I started my first year of college English, that I realized no matter how great of a writer I thought I was, there was always room for improvement! Some of my strengths as a writer include personality, voice, and the ability to add transitions that give character to my writing style. I have many weaknesses in my writing: grammar, spelling, punctuation (which I happen to be working on every time I write), and many other quirks that a brilliant writer would catch. Between paper one and paper two, I have mastered projecting my “voice”, as well as my personality. I like my papers to feel as though I was sitting next to the reader and chatting with them about my story.…

    Unfortunately, weaknesses are a challenge I do not cope with very well, especially in a scholastic setting. I was unaware of my writing weakness until English II displayed it in black and white. Furthermore, a considerable obstacle I found tough to overcome was confidence. Before turning in a test, a paper, or a project, I often underestimate myself in performing the task set before me. However, the results I receive constantly prove that I am capable of quality work. When my instructor assigned the first paper, I immediately began to focus all my efforts toward the assignment. After completing and submitting the paper, I patiently waited for the results. Not only did I earn a perfect score, I also received comments from my instructor stating how she admired…

    While I finish projects on time, I wait too long to start them. This threatens long term goals and growth, as they must be achieved through constant progress over time. Another weakness I must improve upon is multitasking. I often become too focused with whichever task seems important or urgent, and lose focus of other responsibilities. This can cause long term goals to be eclipsed be seemingly important immediate tasks. For example, networking may be overlooked in favour of completing assignments. I also must specifically work on my social skills. I tend towards being an introvert and therefore must work harder to make social connections. This means I must be willing to go beyond my comfort zone and become a more vocal leader. I also suffer from crippling depression. Finding relatable memes always cheers me up, so it’s not a big deal. Another issue I have is dealing with ambiguity. If I do not understand something, it tends to cause me stress or avoidance. I will need minimize this to improve on other weaknesses, such as procrastination. Lastly, I tend to be a follower. Often, I will imitate others rather than set my own…
