Strengths and Weaknesses
K nowing Yourself Strength or ability is what you do well and are good at. Everyone has strengths. For example, one person can
be good at solving mathematical equations, another has good cooking skills, etc.
Knowing ‘yourself’ means you understand who you are, what you like or do not like, what your beliefs or
opinions are, what is your background, what you are good or bad at. It is important to know who you are. Weakness, also known as "area for improvement" is what you don't do well and what you're not good at.
Everyone has some weaknesses. For example, a person cannot draw well or panics in a difficult situation, etc.
Analysing your strengths and weaknesses is helpful. An analysis of strengths and weaknesses begins with
knowing and understanding yourself first. Let's understand some terms that help with this.
