MY STRENGTH VS MY WEAKNESS

Knowing your weaknesses is as important as your strengths.

The Cookie Chronicles

As an individual, being able to recognize your weakness and strength will indeed make you a better person. Life is full of learning experiences and when you develop an open mind to learn and unlearn, you will be amazed at how your mindset will be shaped👌

One of the greatest strengths I have recognized is Continuous Learning. At times I imagine learning as a seed being planted within me that germinates in every season.

I may be addicted to learning new things🤦, that's just how best I can describe this particular strength of mine. However, not everything entices me to learn but the ones that do, I give my best attention to grab. As we know, learning never ends, I am the type that loves learning new things always and seeking more knowledge where necessary. This has helped me to fit in better in my environment. Having vast knowledge of different things makes me feel fulfilled and satisfied. I learn things not only concerning my field of study but as many things that can help me be outstanding to my society.

I remember when I worked as an admin assistant in one of the oil and gas firms in my country, I never studied anything related to that, but I was privileged to be trained in that role and got hired. I didn't limit myself to working as an admin assistant only, I stretched myself further to learn more about how the oil and gas sector works, and so many things about the job roles and that knowledge gave me a significant opportunity elsewhere. I was wowed by what knowledge can add to my life journey.

I became a questionnaire in different places I found myself in the quest of seeking more knowledge. Funny enough, if you trace it down to this blockchain, some of my friends here can attest to that🤩 and I am not ashamed of always asking questions because for you to keep learning, questions are unavoidable. In fact, in some cases, questions prove that you understood what is being thought.

Let me not stress further on this particular strength cos I believe you have gotten the main tip that can help you to keep learning new things always👌

Now unto one of my greatest weaknesses 🤦🤦.....IMPATIENT!!!

I am sooooo impatient and I am not proud of it. I like to see what I want, happen immediately. I am always in a haste to see results even when I am supposed to calm down and await an outcome. Let me say that this particular weakness of mine correlates with my strengths above; this is because some things I find myself learning, I will love to practice it almost immediately without having a deeper understanding of it, and when the result becomes negative, I will feel unfulfilled, sad, depressed and sometimes see myself as a failure 🤦.

Impatient has dealt with me so much emotionally but then I am working tirelessly to get out of this.

  • Do you also experience impatient?
  • How do you handle it?

I have finally found my elder sister that I have been looking for for years now. Please come back to me.

You described me here.

That impatient thong eeh my sister, sometimes I can even force myself into things and when it backfires or being worked up to you just be hearing sighs from all angles give me 30 minutes am done with that and I get to look for another thing to do.

A times give a little break on the things that didn't work out to return to it later

Keep learning my dear as there is no end to its existence.

Thanks for sharing

Oh wow, my Mama has spoken again. I love your strength, I will say it was one thing that got me attracted to you and I'm so happy it did. One thing is to know your weaknesses and strengths and another thing is to work on them.

Impatient is very common in almost everyone, the thing is that some people have learned to control theirs and I'm very sure you will too.

How to manage being Impatient

  • Set goals that are smart, don't ever make the mistakes of setting unrealistic goals for yourself, it's very unhealthy.

  • Try to speak less, don't be eager to say anything. I know you might be wondering how this relates to managing impatience, well it relates. Just imagine a situation where you acquired a skill and you quickly went to tell someone that you are already a master at that skill, if any thing happens and you fail, it will lead you to being depressed.

Now all these happened because you were not patient enough to let your work speak for you.

  • Avoid comparing yourself too much with others especially those that have been involved for a longer time than you have been.

  • Always remember to pray about it, tell God and I'm sure he will listen to you someday if not today.

I really enjoyed your post and I see myself in it too. I get a little impatient if I get an idea in my head it has to be done soon and sometimes we have to stop thinking and then do what we have to do with time.
Thanks for sharing.

Every human has one weakness or the other and identifying it earlier will do us the good of containing it, I am sure you are working pretty well on it.

Learning is a very powerful tool and strength for those who utilize the knowledge they get from it because it don't end with just acquiring knowledge.

I know you are a big madam, these oil and gas thing is very lucrative in Nigeria. Please just tell me to send my account numbers, thanks in a advance.

Once a soldier is always a soldier, the money from the oil and gas industry is still intact. In case you change your mind, my bank account is always open to credit alerts.

Happy Wednesday ma'am.

Impatient.. I guess many of us are 😅.
But I like your character of learning things further on your own...you can work independently too..

There is nothing wrong with seeking more knowledge or asking. That's how we learn new things hehe.

Awwn ☺️, We share the same strength, learning new things is one of my many strengths!

As for impatience, I believe it takes self-discipline to overcome it. It's normal for humans to the impatient, we all wish to see quick results in our endeavors, but to a degree it's not healthy.

And to be honest, I also deal with this sometimes but at the same time, I try to train myself to remain calm by thinking more before I act, lowering my expectations and taking one step at a time.

I think I feel the same way at times. Most at times after making an application, I keep on refreshing my email — even when I know the time for the result announcement isn't due yet. But no matter how many times I refresh my mail, it will still come at the designated time.

So nothing has really changed, aside been destabilised. At the end, patience is still a virtue!

Your strength is actually a good one, the type that comes with more knowledge.I see you make wise use of it and I think I just made a wise pick of some new things from this post.
Thank you champ.
Ohh impatient, I have this to, and trust me I'm working on it.
I tend to want fast answers and forget that sometimes a little patience is required.

It's really nice that you love To learn new things, i love it too, but the only problem us that I used to be sometimes lazy...

About that impatiens, I think it's just part of a human life, but most know how to utilize it.

Have you tried to remove your mind from whatever you are in a hurry to do?
Think about something like,

what if I don't do it now sef, what will happen? Will I die?

One way or the other, you'll Just see the way you'll slowly loose interest in jumping into the conclusion of things.
I hope this helps a little.

Knowing your weaknesses is as important as your strengths

Wow... This is deep!🔥🙌

Learning never ends, they say. Being able to learn fast and at any opportunity is one key thing to excelling all round.
While I believe you'd work more on your impatiene as a whole. Because patience is a virtue.

I so much love the strength in you, not everyone is willing or ready to learn new things. infact, they might even say that it's a waste of time to learn new things.

It's good how learning new things becomes a strength in someone.

Being impatient is not really good, you reminded me of a friend of mine who is very impatient and anything that will take his time and stresses him up becomes a very difficult something for him instead he will rather leave it than wait for the end product.

I really enjoyed post.
