4.0 Finding
4.0 Strengths and weaknesses
4.0.1 Strengths
One of my biggest strengths is my communication skills. I work very well with all kinds of people, and understand that everyone has different point of view about projects and work tasks — so when I work with others I realize that everyone comes to the table with different precedence and objectives. I keep this in mind when I communicate tasks that need to be accomplished with positive reinforcement and awareness of what others are working on.
One of my greatest strengths which I’ve acquired during my education is good analytical and planning skills. This has always benefited me to set goals and try to achieve them. But at the same time I’m driven by the thoughts of success
Another strengths that I have is communication, time management and team working / good listener, for the communication is that I can communicate with new and old student, for the time management I can organise my time like giving course work on time for example meeting deadlines, am also good with team working this is because I get involve with every one in the group and I can listen very carefully this is means that I am a good listener.

4.1.2 Weaknesses
I used to have trouble with procrastinating, now I have learned to write down a list of things that I need to do, and keep a calendar to keep track of deadlines, I have found that this not only helps me to finish things on time, but it has also helped me to be more organized.
Other weaknesses of me, it would be the fact that I get nervous when speaking in front of groups. I haven’t had a lot of experience with this over the past several years. Although I did join when I was at college to help overcome this nervousness and feel much more confident this days when I need to speak in front of groups and give presentations.
Another weakness that I have is the self management this is because there is always a distraction to break concentration and temptation to wonder off into a day dream, about the future, career, friends, social events etc these distractions are always there. It suggests luck of concentration or discipline or commitment to focusing on the work in hand.
