Over the years, I've learned that a confident person doesn't concentrate or focus on their weaknesses - they maximize their strengths.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's difficult to find a genuine weakness that makes you appear competent. For instance, telling your interviewer that your weakness is working so hard that you have trouble prioritizing your family life is a little too cliche and comes across as disingenuous.
I sometimes have an over-confidence that can be viewed as arrogance.
Spending too much time focused on others' strengths leaves us feeling weak. Focusing on our own strengths is what, in fact, makes us strong.
We all can relate to people's weaknesses. We might put up a facade that everything is perfect but none of us are. When we see that weakness in somebody else, we understand or give ourselves a little bit of leeway.
Insincerity is always weakness; sincerity even in error is strength.
I think I have a better sense of my weaknesses - being self-important, selfish and having a big ego probably triggers all the other stuff. I can see myself more clearly.
Weakness is something we don't like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it.
My biggest weakness is patience, wanting to see things happen too quickly or get changes in place right away. Not having the patience to let things develop.
It's more important to know your weaknesses than your strengths.
I've always thought my strengths were I'm smart, and I have a good sense of humor. I definitely struggle with feeling confident.
