Active learning, Being self-aware

Key Takeaways:

  • Strengths are not just what you’re good at; they are activities that strengthen you.
  • Weaknesses are activities that weaken you, even if you are good at them.
  • You may be good at things you don’t enjoy, which doesn’t make them strengths.
  • The best judge of your strengths is you, as you know what intrigues and engages you.
  • Your strengths are activities that energize and captivate you.
  • Don’t solely rely on others’ opinions; trust your own assessment of what drives you.
ACTIVITY:
  • To identify your strengths, make a list of activities you love doing and those you loathe.
  • Now ask yourself these questions and reflect on your answers: 
  1. How much time do you give to your strengths daily? 
  2. Are those strengths getting utilised & strengthened even more or simply fading away?
  3. Are your weaknesses getting the best of you?
  4. What are you going to do now?
