This week was fantastic for me in that while I was finishing reading and writing my book report on the book called "The start-up of you" I realized something really great about myself and I would like to include an excerpt from my paper so I can remember it later.
First, my greatest strengths, I would like to think that I have many but this book allowed me to realize that in reality in my current point in my career I have a few very important ones. The book put it as
“you may not see inexperience as an asset to highlight, but on the flip side of inexperience tends to be energy, enthusiasm, and a willingness to work and hustle in order to learn.” (p. 33). Little did I realize that my inexperience (I have only been in business for 1.5 years) in turn has actually allowed me to be able to have all of those qualities listed above. There is not one person in my entire office that will work harder to learn and do whatever it takes to get my job done. One of my favorite quotes says “it’s not about your age, it’s about your effort and it’s not about your experience, it’s about your attitude.” This to me is a huge asset that anyone can use in their career currently or down the road. It is important to confidently know you can complete any task that is placed in front of you. Realizing your strengths and what is most important to you is vital in the process of finding out what career options suite you best now and in the long run.
I have now been able to realize that something I thought was my greatest weaknesses has now become one of my best assets. In the future I want to always approach situations in such a way that I always have this amount of energy, enthusiasm and willingness to work and hustle in everything that I do not just now early in my career.
