1. My ability to keep a cool head and not
let the little things bother me. Where others might snap or let the frustration
build, I either let the annoyances go or communicate to he individual who is
creating them.
2. I am always smiling. Regardless of the
situation I try to smile, whether I am public speaking, meeting new people, or
addressing a problem someone else may have.
3. I love to communicate, I tell people
the truth and I never tip toe around saying what I need to say.
4. People can trust me to be responsible;
I try hard to always do the right thing. I try to avoid laziness as much as I
can.
5. My passion for everything I do. If I attempt
to do something I am going to give it my 100% effort. I take pride in accepting
a task and doing my absolute best on it.
For the most part, there were not a lot
of differences between the way I saw myself and the way the five closest people
saw me. However, there were a couple of differences. My grandma said that I
tend to think of other people and not just myself. My father said that I wear
my heart on my sleeve at all times. I saw myself as being passionate and caring
but not necessarily to the extent my family spoke of. I do think my
interviewees are correct about me. They know me the best and they can see
specific traits and certain characteristics about me that I sometimes don’t
see. If I could, I would like to add unselfishness to my list. I think I often
do put other people before me and after thinking about it, I am proud of that.
Hey Mason, I really liked your post. Our posts were pretty similar in that the people we interviewed tended to say the same things that we thought of ourselves, which is awesome. It seems like you and those around have a pretty good grasp on what makes you great. Feel free to check out my secret sauce post here: http://matthewent3003.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-secret-sauce.html.
ReplyDeleteI noticed something very similar happened in my post. Some of the family I interviewed really focused in on emotional traits of our personality that we may have not thought about otherwise. I think they have an interesting perspective since they have seen us grow, mature and become young adults that display characteristics that we developed as we grew up.

ReplyDeleteHey mason, I really think you have a good understanding of the exercise and appreciate your post. Your interviewees seem very genuine and I think you have a good idea of what your human capital is. Now the important part is to harness your strengths to better your weaknesses and make yourself more successful. I'd appreciate it if you checked out my blog and provided some feedback as well. http://ethan2you.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-secret-sauce.html
