Reflection About Strength

People have many different strengths in their lives. According to the strengthsfinder my top five five strength are input, harmony, maximize, communication, and responsibility. I will be utilizing my strengths in many different ways whether it's at work, home or school. While at work, home, or school I will use my input with making different decision. Utilizing input is very important for so many different reason.

This is not for lack of effort rather innate ability. Inherent talent or aptitude represents a repertoire thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with the potential of being fully actualized within daily life if one dedicates time and energy into honing these skills. This principle provides the foundation of research by Donald O. Clifton, father of strength psychology and creator of the Strength Finder Assessment. The Clifton Strength Finder is an assessment tool designed to help an individual identify, develop, and apply his or her unique strength set.

A third strength I have is an inner drive to be able to stick to a task and get it done. Whether it is at work or at school, if I am assigned a task I make it a point to work at it until the task is done. If a deadline is presented in front of me I have something inside of me that forces me to keep working on it until it is completed and not just completed but done first the right way. Which leads to another strength that I have is a strong work ethic. In my profession in recruiting what I do reflects me and the company that I work for. When I go to recruiting events or career fairs I represent the company that I am there for. Everything about me such as my demeanor, my dress, my attitude, etc. reflects the professionalism of the company as well as any reports or products that are produced and put out by me. I take pride in my work and

All too often we do not think about our personal strength until a situation arises that causes us to use this natural attribute that we know as strength.

My second key strength is showing gratitude to others. If someone does something for me or helps me develop a new skill. I show gratitude to them by thanking them, and I tell them that really appreciate their help. I am there for that person when they need my help.

As I have mentioned above, that achiever, strategic, learner, belief, and responsibility are my top five themes as revealed by StrengthsFinder. I was astounded and amazed after reading the detail description of my personal five themes, because these are the most consistent behaviors that I display in my daily personal and professional life. I think this assessment is reliable and trustworthy, because the result provided on the bases of my responses drew an accurate picture of my strengths.

Strength is that part of your intellect or nervous system that is more effective and productive than other parts. Throughout your experience of life, your actions or reactions drive different thoughts, behavior and emotion in your brain. The requests that are processed more efficiently and rapidly are known as your strengths. Nowadays, strengths-based approaches to work and life are gaining a lot of popularity and often they are used to improve leadership and create more productive and efficient work teams.

“By the end of the day you must achieve something tangible in order to feel good about yourself. No matter how much you may feel you deserve a day of rest, if the day passes without some form of achievement, no matter how small, you will feel dissatisfied.” (PH.Ds, Clifton, O., Anderson, E., Schreiner, L., Pg 26) When I read this quote in our StrengthsQuest text I felt as if I was describing my own personality while starring at myself in the mirror. If there was a sentence to explain “Chrissy” this would be it, or at least a very good candidate when summarizing my number one strength. After completing my StrengthQuest survey online and analyzing my results with the three people who

Strength is a quality that continues to carry mankind through existence. Without this attribute, humans would fail to carry on living. One can show physical strength by being able to push hefty objects, or mental strength by being able to endure the most unfavorable conundrums. For a person to survive any conditions, this toughness is an absolutely necessary trait that they must have. The Most Dangerous Game, a short fictional story by Richard Connell, and Who Understands Me But Me, a poem by Jimmy Santiago Baca, are both examples of how in any situation, it is possible to survive with forms of resilience. Characters from both of these stories are able to sustain themselves with their strength, whether it be physically or mentally.

I believe that my strength are that I am a fast leaner. I do not give up easily, and I also make sure if I am going go to do something I do it to the best of my abilities.

Atticus says heroism is, “when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.” Heroism is different to everyone. Whoever is asked, they will give a different answer than another person.

For a host of reasons, believing in a troubled child or youth may be the most singularly important gift a person can bestow on a challenging child. Most importantly, believing leads to hope, and without it a person’s ability to function is severely compromised. A car won’t move an inch if its tank is empty, neither will humans. Hope is the fuel for all humanity.

Strength Perspective: This perspective focuses on individuals, families and community's strength opposed to their weaknesses, moreover, their ability to recognize and utilize their strengths in adverse situations.

To some extent, yes I was surprised to discover some of the findings in my strengths profile. I was extremely surprised to find that curiosity was rated seventh on my list. I have always been aware that I am a slightly curious individual, however I did not realize that I was curious enough for it to be rated seventh on my profile. Also, love of learning was listed as twenty-second on my list, which I can somewhat understand. I do not often read books unless necessary for a particular course, but I do usually enjoy learning. I typically only like learning about particular topics that interest me that includes math and particular business courses (so far accounting has been extremely interesting for me). It was also a bit interesting to see humility

As humans, and particularly individuals, we all have personal strengths that we bring to our interactions with others as well as areas that perhaps need some more time and attention in order to improve upon them. In this journal, I’ll be focusing on four areas of strength I believe I have, as well as four areas the require further growth and personal change.
