One person's strengths can easily become their weakness, and visa versa. Depending on the situation you are in, your personal trait can be molded to the situation, sometimes not in your favor. A person can easily be taken advantage of in a bad situation. A good quality I possess may even end up hurting me in the end. Though, on the contrary, who can really say what is good or bad? What may look like a strenght to one person, may seem to be a weakness to someone else.
I possess many good qualities that help me succeed in life. My main strengths include my ability to learn. I can quickly pick up and absorb any new information taught to me, much like a human sponge. Arriving to my destination(s) early is another trait i possess. For me, being on time is being late. The early bed catches the worm. The late bird is a very hungry one. I believe my greatest strength is my dedication to my work and attention to detail. Work includes whatever that particular day brings. Whether it be work or school, if i am given an assignment i do it to the best of my ability. This includes if I am asked by a family member or friend for a favor. I believe that a task should be given a person's full attention to detail and not a half-effort.
Like everyone, i also have weaknesses that can hinder my productivity. I try to work on these things so that it does not have a negative effect on my daily routine. A strong weakness I have is my kindness. I know that sounds like a strength, but these days it most certainly isn't. I love being kind to people, and see no reason to think otherwise. Yet, my kindness is often mistaken for weakness. Another flaw I think I have is alway's thinking that I'm right, in any situation. I respect others opionions, but i just think that my way is the right way. I often refuse to listen to my boyfriend's advice, although he tries to help me. I know he is usually right about a situation, and yet i always seem to do the opposite of what he says. My strongest weakness, has to be putting others before myself. If I know someone is in need of, or just know that I can help in a situation, I will. Often times, I refuse to think about how it will affect me and might compromise my situation. I worry about others before i think about my action's reaction on my life.
In conclusion, I think a person's strengths and weaknesses end up balancing each other out. Depending on the situation a person is in, they can determine what will help and what will hurt them. If people analyze themselves, i think they can work on and apply these new qualities into their daily lives. Everyone will always have things they're good and bad at, but this way it might not affect them so severly in a negative way. Their weanesses might not seem so weak, while their strengths continue to grow.
