Strenghts and weakness

 This topic will help us to realize what are our qualities, which makes us stand out from others and also what we can improve, taking into account in which aspects we are weaker, also how to apply our skills to reach our personal goal and get to know us more gradually.

I think that in order to create a bigger personal development it is not necessary to focus on our strengths but on our weaknesses, because these will lead us to get out of the box a little bit and hopefully our weaknesses will become our strengths or simply these weaknesses will not become a trigger to not go ahead with our personal development. So the question here is how to turn one of your weaknesses into a strength?

Let's start by identifying our weaknesses, this can be for various reasons from the simple fact of not knowing and needing to learn, like a language or driving or learning to use a computer program like Photoshop, or simply not having interest in doing or practicing this activity, it is good to start by doing an analysis from the outside by asking friends and close family what they think our strengths and weaknesses are and thus give us another perspective.

This article teaches us very simple steps on how to do this

1. Identify Your Weaknesses, you can take an online test simply by listing skills and verbs that you think will make you weak and also don't hesitate to have an outside opinion from people close to you.

2. Every Weakness Has a Corresponding Strength

Here is a list of examples of how some weaknesses are a strength

Unrealistic = Visionary

Arrogant = Self-Confident 

Unavailable = Adventurous 

Uncompromising = Purposeful 

Childish = Playful  

Obnoxious = Enthusiastic 

Disorganized = Creative 

Inconsistent = Flexible 

Independent = Resourceful 

Impatient = Passionate

Stubborn = Persistent, Determined

Indecisive = Fair-minded

Intimidating = Assertive

Talkative = Expressive

Let's not doubt that these personal weaknesses can be turned into a strength, we simply have to know how to work on them in order to get there, and if one of our weaknesses is not knowing something, what better than to learn it and use it to our advantage!

3. Get Advice From Others, it is always good to take into account how others see you in order to see if there is a point that you don't see or think is a good thing. To work on creating a method to convert these skills or activities.

4. Find People to Fill Skill Gaps, is good instead of improving a skill that you think you're bad and try to be better at it, to go creating new tools that you did not know that you failed and that can be useful.

5. Seek to Improve Your Skills, improve what you are already good at, with what is natural from birth and use them to your advantage in personal development.

personally to the objectives that I want to arrive at short and long term I have realized that one of my greater weaknesses that I can realize are two languages that I want and I need to learn that they are the Italian and the French, to which I want to dedicate myself is to the industry of the fashion and the great capitals are in Italy and France reason why I need on leaving before the international students who also want to dedicate themselves to this field is having the knowledge of these languages to be able to have but opportunities, Another of my weaknesses that I could identify is the lack of computer skills and the little interest I have in learning how to use new tools on the computer and I know now more than ever that being technologically prepared is a great advantage since in this new era that we are living most of the work is being done online.

It is not necessary to mention the skills set as mentioned before for a big personal development we must first convert our weaknesses into our strengths and then we can use our strengths in our favor while we are developing more and more.
