A while ago, I
put in writing my bad points. I don’t believe we need hammer home
our weaknesses – rather let’s concentrate on our strengths and the
weaknesses will take care of themselves. This is my personal list –
- Consider the
facts
- Stop and
think
- Pay attention
to detail
- Be accurate
- Self-interest!
- Avoid the
tendency towards self-sacrifice
- Don’t
overreact
- Don’t place
excessive demands on yourself
- Failure
shouldn’t give rise to disappointment and self-recrimination!
- Learn to hide
your feelings
- Don’t think
for someone else
- Don’t
assume
- Don’t be
possessive
- Don’t be
over-emotional
- Don’t go
the extra mile; you’ll get lost
- No one is
perfect
- Forgive
yourself
- Don’t be
too hard on yourself
- Don’t fret
over mistakes or poor decisions
- Don’t take
on extra work
- Get in touch
with what is going on at ground level
- Don’t
downplay your own contribution
- Deal with
crises effectively
- Feelings
Facts
- Richness
Rightness.
I would encourage
you to write down your own list. Read through your list often and make
appropriate changes, if you can. The point of this exercise is to embrace
those attributes you manage less well and NOT to try to change YOU.
You’ve nothing to prove! You’re good enough! Just be mindful of
your potential weaknesses and concentrate on your positive attributes.
Thanks, Magic People.
