Self Awareness

The very first requirement for a person to be at the job and to actively involve oneself is to introduce yourself to you. To be successful is one half of the glass the other half is being able to identify your strength and weaknesses. Because in true sense only the right evaluation of strengths will enable to build on the positives and a personal realization of weakness will help evaluate the wrongs and convert them into strengths.

It's always convenient to say that you dislike your job or are not satisfied with it but in reality can you say that you did the right thing by taking up that job in the first place? Take a long decisive look at the qualities you excel in and then try to find a position that uses some of those skills too. Yet one of the differentiating factors of self-awareness is to have a good understanding of your personality traits and your preferred style of working.

Improving self-awareness can assist you towards the perfect package of good compensation, rewards, power and a realistic goal. Knowing this will help one to stop being idealistic or fantasize achieving tall gains, instead setting appropriate goals and managing one’s expectations realistically.


More the similarities between your job and the requirements, greater are the chances for you being happy at your job and as for the rest of the constituents they would prod you to achieve the maximum from the said job.
