Strengths/Weaknesses
A while back I had to do an assignment for college where I had to list 15 of my strengths and weaknesses. In business, they call it SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). I like to be completely transparent with you guys. I hate having anything to hide and I want you to know me as well as you can. So I want to share my strengths and weaknesses from that assignment with you. I like looking at the weaknesses much more than the strengths. I think that weaknesses define a person better because they seem more honest, more human and less like bragging.
Listing strengths and weaknesses is a good way to start becoming self-aware. I think self awareness is a very important thing. The more you know about yourself, the easier it is to live with yourself everyday. Right?
