STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS ANALYSIS
To know what you do well or not so well, helps in converting weaknesses into strengths and strengths into
exceptional performance. It is a process that actually means knowing our inner strengths, hidden talents, skills
and even weaknesses.
Strengths: Strength means what we do well and are good at. Everyone has some strengths that need to
be identified. Take time to think about what we can do well and are always good at, and also what others
appreciate about you.
Weaknesses: Weaknesses are the areas of improvement. To think what we cannot do well or we are not good
at. Everyone has some weakness that needs to be identified. Find out the areas where you struggle and find
difficult to do. Accept the feedback to improve.

Interests: Interests are the things or activities that we enjoy doing. For example, activities done at school or
home in your free time that make you happy. There are activities you are curious about or do even if no one
asks you to do them. These are the activities you want to learn or would like to do in the future.
Ability: Ability is an acquired or natural capacity that enables an individual to perform a particular task with
considerable proficiency that may not even match abilities. We can either improve our abilities or follow some
other path. For example, you may like Tennis (interest), but you may not be able to play due to the necessary
skill (ability) required to play the game.
SELF CONFIDENCE
Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage and confidence in the process. With realisation of
one s own potential and self confidence in one s ability, one can build a better world. One s faith in himself or
his caliber is self confidence. It is a kind of self-belief and positivity that makes one realise his/her worth or
strengths. Self confidence is not an inherited trait, rather it has to be generated.
