               • Good communication skills
            We all have strengths but we are not aware of them sometimes. Anything that energises you and gives you inner
            contentment brings out the true side of your personality. Identifying your strengths is a very time consuming
            process and if you are not honest in your introspection, then, you may not succeed in this mission.


            Steps to Identify Your Strengths
            Following are the steps to identify your strengths:
            1.   Identify your strengths by talking to a few people close to you. Listen to them honestly what they have to say
              good about you. Ask them:
              a.  What do you think I am good at?
              b.  What are my strengths?
              c.  How can I use my strengths to choose my career?
              d.  Which task can I do for hours without getting tired?
            2.   List down the good things conveyed to you by these people, sit alone and introspect.
            3.   If you want to be doubly sure, then, you can also take a personality test by going to a professional.
            4.  Feel your strength with these good points and what others have appreciated in you.
            5.  Use your strength in choosing the correct path for your overall development.
