Strengths And Weaknesses

Strengths and Weaknesses are antithetical and inevitable aspects of ones life. They constitute an important part of our personality and identity, and play a vital role in differentiating us from others. Though so many of us don’t have an idea of importance of knowing them for self.

All of us love to be praised by others for having some special quality or for being good at something. Now what will happen if we get obsessed about the quality we are praised for every time? Shall we not start overestimating ourselves and stop improving, or rather start deteriorating? At the same time, what will happen if we are criticized about a habit or a weakness too badly? May we not get depressed, loose hopes and self confidence? So either remaining too conscious for having few weak points and ignoring our strengths, or too obsessed for having some strong points and ignoring our weakness – both the cases give a bad idea.

That is why we should concentrate on self and try to judge, what are we good at? What is it that makes us apart and special from others? On the other hand also judge, what are the uncontrollable things of self? What are our negatives that can show us down before others? Getting answers to these questions will help us develop, control, identify and embody ourselves in a much better way, and make us a better human being.

Being a human being, it will be required to keep a balance between our strengths and weaknesses as no one is perfect in this world. So if a situation comes when you are showered with praises or criticism, you can be the best judge of self to tell yourself----

“Buddy! Keep on, don’t stop, you have a lot to do, the journey is yet not finished and the destiny is yet to be reached. So just buck up!!”
