I believe that when your too focused on your weakness, you forget about your strengths. Everything the book said is true, and we need to take the time to look at our strengths and make it perfect. It is true that in this world or the school system, we are taught to look at our weakness and correct it so that we can become stronger in our life. This book brings out the truth that I longed to hear for a long time. Invariably, I hear my professor tell their students that for them success in life, they must practice and look at our weakness. This book proves it wrong because for us to become successful, we must stay to our strengths’ path.

Personally the top three strengths connect to me very perfectly. Perspective is a form of saying that I take a look of things in a broader point of view. Where everyone’s idea are taken into consideration to come up with a fair conclusion, or viewing a problem globally to define my answer.

Based off my result after taking the VIA Survey of Character Strengths survey my first strength is my judgment, my effective use of critical thinking, and my open-mindedness. I agree with this because I actually spend more time thinking things through and assessing the cost and rewards than I do with the action I was originally thinking about. The Second Strength was Fairness, equity, and justice. I do agree with this strength but its description is not how I would describe it. I treat all people fairly and how I would want to be treated.

I completely agree with the third strength- Hope, optimism, and future-mindedness.

After attending many interviews over this year, I have been asked “What are my strengths” numerous times. After careful consideration, the two characteristics that I feel are my greatest strengths are my passion for teaching, and the fact that I am coachable. According to Benekos (2016), Passion for teaching includes the ability to teach students how to learn and to instill enthusiasm and interest in learning. Since I was a little kid, I have always had a love of numbers. From playing with numbers, to calculating numbers, to talking about numbers, I have always been very fond of numbers. As an adult and mathematics teacher now, I try to instill my students with that same love and enthusiasm that I have for numbers. Everyday that I am in the

Upon completion of the StrengthsFinder survey, I found that my five greatest strengths are responsibility, relator, restorative, achiever, and harmony.

The five strengths identified by the StrengthFinder survey were deliberative, achiever, responsibility, restorative, and focus (Gallup, 2010). This is the first time that I have taken a survey of this kind. I think that some of the information obtained from the results of this survey could help me to learn more about myself, and the direction I am or have headed in. There are a few ways that I can use or plan to use the strengths in my life.

I am also delegated the responsibility to make major decisions when senior leadership is away(Gallup, 2010). I would agree, that this trait is the most accurate. My significance strength, has became more visible over the last few years. Being a leader, I have used this to help my subordinates achieve their greatest potential(Gallup, 2010). I truly enjoy this ability, because no one should be satisfied with mediocre.
