Something that gives a feeling of Excellence / Achievement Something you consistently want to know more and excel or improve in it . How To Find Your Strengths:

Find what you enjoy doing. Believe you do well.

How To Develop Your Strengths: Choose one strength Excel in it

WEAKNESSES:

Weakness is what you do not do well. Things you feel defensive about-you give excuses. You try hard to correct any behavior / skill. You have to work hard to learn. Feel loss of confidence and exhaustion in doing a thing. How To Identify Your Weaknesses:
Answer these questions to identify your weaknesses How long it took me to learn? What I did not like? Why I did not like it? How I felt after doing it? Do not spend time in making your weaknesses as strengths, instead make your strengths your core competency.
