About my own personal strengths and weaknesses.
Personal Strengths And Weaknesses

Skills And Abilities

In any situation, I believe that weaknesses and struggles define a person; where as our strengths help offset our weaknesses. Which in turn makes us a well-rounded person.

Our strengths from hitting a home run to overseeing a major account to compassion and

patience with others, are usually easy to identify. Our society commends the strongest and the best.

My strongest strengths, which includes stubborness and a hardworker, are offset

by my weaknesses, which are my unlikeable short-temper and a tendency to become easily

frustrated.

My first strength is stubbornness. I am the oldest of four kid's which I believe has

a part in me being obstinate. It seems the oldest child has to fight for everything from

attention to having less chores. Strong willed is defined as an obstinate person in the

psychology field. I have read about strong willed children and they create a plan then put it

into action. Some people might think stubbornness as weakness. However, it is a trait that

is really an advantage for a strong willed individual; they believe in something so strong

that they will not back down until they make it happen. Because of my stubbornness I

have made it through some tough times that a passive person would have just fell apart.

Which leads me to my second strength of being a hard worker. Nothing in my life

has come easy for me. I have always had to work hard at anything I set out to do. Plus as

a kid I had to work for anything I wanted and because of that I believe it made me a better

person. It taught me to appreciate what I earned and make wise choices on how I spent

my money. In addition, being a hardworker made me a better mom because I have

stepped up to my everyday tasks with my children and have done it to the best of my

ability.

Areas Of Improvement

Next are my weaknesses which I struggle with everyday. One of those weaknesses

is my short-temper. It is

    The original strong-willed child book was one of the first books that he had written after leaving college in 1977. Since then there have been nearly 3 million copies sold in numerous languages. Dobson revised the original due to more recent discoveries in child development as well as determining which methods Dobson suggested were successful or not. Dobson stands firm that strong-willed children need wise parents who will persevere to insure they will grow into healthy adults. The wisdom parents need involves a well thought out “game plan” as Dobson calls it. Without it, it appears to be like being in a boat without a paddle. To raise any child you need tools, but a strong-willed child is even more desperately in need for them. Dobson encourages parents to be guided between the principles of love and control. Although not always easy, it can subdue the amount or level of animosity between parent and child. Strong-willed children often pull parents in the…

    Hard work and perseverance is something a number of people are taught at a young age. Suzanne Lucas, a woman who spent 10 years in corporate human resources, has this to say about working hard, “Some people pat themselves on the back when they do as little work as possible. While this provides temporary fun, it won’t help towards real success.” No matter what someone’s job is, if they put in their hardest work…
