Upon completion of the Strengths Finder survey, I learned I have five areas of strength (Clifton & Anderson & Schreiner, 2006). These strengths are; achiever, communication, arranger, positivity, and ideation. I must admit, before taking this survey there were doubts surrounding its accuracy. By nature, I am a sceptic of this type of personal inflection conducted by an outsourced company. Prior to taking it, I kept telling myself, there is no possible way that a simple survey can give me insight on my inner workings.
Nevertheless, it is the way that friction is approached that makes a difference. By applying my positive attitude and sense of finding a common ground among coworkers, it will enable me to apply this strength to my daily life. Lastly, the strength of achiever was a lesser theme for me compared to my other top strengths. I sometimes take on too many tasks and want to accomplish many things in order to make me feel good about myself. I am extremely committed to everything I do and influence others to succeed in what they do.
According to my strength finder survey, some of my strengths is being competitive, an achiever and a maximizer. Some weaknesses was paying attention for a long period of time, getting stressed easily and reading. There have been both internal and external factors challenging my success here at Georgia Southern. Internal factors have definitely challenged my success here so far. The amount of stress just makes you want to stop working and never go back.
My strengths as a writer are being able to come up with a lot of interesting topics and getting it on paper but I have challenges when it comes to organizing my paper and trying to tie all the topics together. Based on the feedback from my papers I would say there are many areas I need to work on for example grammar, punctuation and spelling. For me, it is many areas that I need to work on like grammar and spelling I have always had some complications when it came to those two things so I really try to make sure I continue to work on it. To improve my skills, I am going to take advantage of the Grand Canyon Universities writing center and also the tutoring center this will be beneficial to me because it will help me get stronger in my writing and to also get more feedback that will help me grow even more in the areas that I struggle in.
I am committed to this path, highly organized, and deeply passionate about helping others improve their life circumstances. Motherhood has prepared me for time management and the ability to get work done under pressure and
When I took the Strengths Finders quiz, my five strengths were Strategic, Futuristic, Individualization, Competition, and Achiever. So, my initial reaction was that I wasn’t too surprised but it was interesting. Most of the results, I already knew about myself, but what stood out to me was, it was all true! As I’m reading the details of my results for my strengths, I’m Strategic person.
This notion of me believing hard work leading to success has mostly come from the mindset of athletes. In Frank’s article he states “Wealthy people overwhelmingly attribute their own success to hard work rather than to factors like luck or
I apologize if it seems like I am not answering the prompt at first, but in this scenario I find it important to give some background information. My mother always told me that your past helps shape your future. She came a family in Mexico and everyday was a battle to get by. She traveled three miles by foot just to get to school.
It happened September 22, 2011. It was during seventh period athletics. No one can ever plan for something like this and others never think of it. My life was changed that day, I didn’t know it then, but now that I do I wouldn’t change it for the world. My day started like any other: wake up, go to school, then go home.
In this picture, I see that this hopeless mother looks tired. The mom has a look of depression about her. The woman looks willing to do anything to find a way out for herself and her children. The mom appears to be mentally and physically defeated, but has to keep fighting for her children. The mom can do nothing but pray for help that may never come.
I resonated with the last paragraph in chapter four. Pue writes, “Christian leaders are people of vision. Mentors can help leaders understand and clarify God’s vision for their life and act as a check to draw them back into scripture…” (100). I recently struggled with the concept I was trying to develop for my writing project. I knew that there was an element missing, there was something that I was doing wrong
The goal of my religion is to instill hard work throughout life, and overcome obstacles to achieve success. I personally don’t believe
“There is no need for you to be so stressed, just relax,” my parents told me. I’ve heard those words so many times it has become an echo. Their body language shows indifference in the way they brush it off as no big deal and how their body position stays the same. They don’t lean in attentively or reach their hand out to comfort me. I can’t be stressed, but I’m expected to reach the high standards my parents hold for me.
One day, my life began to mimic a hamster on a wheel running nowhere quick, the longer I would run, the further I would become from myself, and yet, I kept running. In other words, my life had become more about pleasing others rather than serving the greatness that came from within, my higher-self. Rather than moving according to self, I chose to adapt to others, although it meant ignoring my commitment to my higher-self. Consequently, the more I ran from my feelings the further disconnected I became from myself.
First of all, who am I? I come from a family who are hardworking and achievers. Most of my family own businesses or land that they play a big role in. I am motivated and inspired to follow their pathway and do better, which is why I am always giving it my best to be successful. For example, my father was close to finishing school to become a doctor.
