Funny how we can pin-point the strengths and weaknesses of others while reflecting on ourself seems so far fetched.
Have you realised when you're pointing your finger at others, 3 of your fingers are actually pointing right back at yourself? This tells all of us that while we're searching for the cracks in people's characteristics, we should do some soul searching first. Do we have the right to lay those negative remarks?
What triggered these thoughts of mine was the interviewI had this morning. The guy interviewer posted this question to me, "Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses. Or rather, your strengths and areas for improvements."
A standard question most of us would be likely to get when we go to an interview. This question, without fail, will always leave me dumbfolded for a few seconds.
I wonder why.
The following reasons may or may not be true:
1. This is something personal that I'm not used to sharing it with people whom I'm not close to.
2. I don't know myself well enough to list down my own strengths and weaknesses.
3. I haven't really had a heart-to-heart talk with my soul.
4. I always feel that allowing others to identify and recognise my weaknesses will flip open the vulnerable side of me. Y'know the insecurity feeling that you get when you hand over your fragile heart to someone, not knowing whether will they take care of it forever? It's like leaving your soul naked, every thing underneath that facade of yours is being exposed.
