What
do you need to do more of to boost your
confidence?
What did you find
about yourself with these quizzes?
Everyone has
both strengths and weaknesses - you're
getting to know yours. Whatever you love
to do - that's probably what you do best.
Now for the weak
spots - are you being fair to yourself?
Is there a hidden strength in there? For
example, stubbornness is a problem
if it means you refuse to listen to other
people's ideas when you're trying to work
together. It's a plus if it means you don't
give up easily when things get difficult.
Be proud
of who you are.
When you're ready,
you'll use your strengths to grow in whatever
direction you decide is right for you.
