Develop Your Strengths
Knowing your strengths provides a sound basis for building for the future. They are the best basis on which you can build. You need to recognise your strengths, grow your strengths, observe your strengths and look after your strengths. Strengths need nurturing and cannot just be taken for granted. Strengths are not just what we perceive about ourselves but how others perceive about the particular qualities we bring and hold.
While our strengths important there is a danger that you're not accurately aware of your strengths and talents. Often as people grow, they become experts in describing their own weaknesses and spend time trying to address these faults rather than building on their strengths. As a result some of their strengths can lay dormant and ignored, as a consequence these strengths are undeveloped and anthrop overtime.
However when you are fully aware of your strengths and confident in them, you are able to do things that you might have been much more hesitant about in the past. As you use your strengths you become ever more confident in their value and application.
Recognise Your Strengths
A good starting point is to articulate what you think your strengths are. You can supplement this by honestly summarising what you think other key people, such as your family, colleagues and boss, would regard as your strengths.
Looking at your strengths through different perspectives alerts you to begin to see yourself as others see you. At one level you can do this by imagining yourself standing in other people's shoes and commenting on your strengths. Another approach is to ask people directly what they perceived as your strengths, or to request a colleague or coach to ask them on your behalf. You might be able to use a kind of 360° written feedback tool that many organisations have available for their staff.
It can help to write a list covering
- · What do you think your five key strengths?
- · What do you think your colleagues would see as your five key strengths?
- · What would your close family members or friends think are your five key strengths?
Another approach is to look at some common strength's and assess which might apply particularly to you. In their excellent book ‘Now, Discover Your Strengths', by Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton they talk about each individual needing to become an expert at finding, describing, applying, practising and refining their strengths. They talk of distinguishing natural talents from things you can learn and seeing strengths as a combination of talents, knowledge and skills. To them, talents are your naturally recurring patterns of thought, feelings of behaviour, with knowledge consisting of the facts and lessons learned, and skills as the steps of an activity. These authors approach it to encourage the reader to identify their five strongest strengths some of which may not be strengths as yet. They identify 34 themes of strengths to find your profile of five key strengths. A few from the identified themes are as follows
- · Achiever
- · Activator
- · Analytical
- · Communication
- · Competition
- · Consistency
- · Futuristic
- · Learner
- · Strategic
- · Focus
- · Empathy
Growing Your Strengths
Your strengths never stand still. You are either growing them or if you allow them to stagnate they will be declining in effectiveness. As you look back you can often see how your strengths have been changing. You can identify the strengths that have been consistently a valuable part of your assets and those that you have adapted and grown as a consequence of circumstances and experiences.
Growing your strengths is all about making what is good even better. You need to understand how you would effectively identify strengths that need nurturing and growing. For all his natural talent Tiger Woods still practices regularly and draws on the expertise of coaches.
Key questions for you to ask yourself as you grow your strengths are
- · Which strengths have I built in the last six months?
- · Which strengths do I want to use more over the next six months?
- · What are the key strengths I need to make more use of?
Look after Your Strengths
A consistent message in challenging times is to be optimistic, energetic and enthusiastic while being rooted in realism. Drawing on your strengths means that even in the most challenging circumstances you can see opportunities. Confidence and optimism building on your strengths can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy. Success is about being self-assured with confidence, having as much impact as capability. You have to believe in yourself as well as being honest about yourself. It enables you to believe that there is a solution, however tough the situation might seem. How you build on your strengths will give you a competitive advantage.
So building on your strengths means being positive and being objective. Optimism might not come across as denial. People who lose heart are those who have lost their belief that there can be a successful outcome. You have to believe that your strengths will mean that you can become part of the future (and its solutions) and are not part of the problem. Growing your strengths can give you confidence that you can make choices, even in the most difficult circumstances.

how do i establish a signal strength for my ps3 system?
I have a netgear wireless product set up and everything was working fine. My desk top, laptop and ps3 systems were working fine and all of a sudden my ps3 signal is not connected.
The playstation may do that occasionally where it might get some interference with other wireless net works. First thing to do is just restart the ps3 and try connect and see if it works. If that doesn;t work reconfigure your wireless settings and redo the process and then connect....
Usually if that fails then thier is a router problem, Make sure your router is online and that it is not blocking any outer wireless connections. You can enable the wireless connection at your router settings page. Try resetting the router settngs to allow the ps3 to connect.
And if that fails, reset your modem and if that fails call you internet provider and ask them to reset you local connection and if that fails.....
you need to get your ps3's internal wireless device fixed, or you can call sony customer service and see what they have to say,
good luck
