Whenever I have projects to do, I always try my best to finish them, and I work hard to achieve my goals very day. Lastly, as a relator person, I do not usually talk to strangers, and I prefer to get along with my close friends. I love to share about myself and eager to know more about them too.

You need to remind yourself every day that you need to achieve new things each day so that it will encourage you to work harder and make you smarter. My last strength is relator, according to this theme, I “…do derive a great deal of pleasure and strength from being around [my] close friends”. Basically, it means that I prefer to get along with the person I already know and like sharing our thoughts. Although it is good to get along with close friends, I should also need to learn to get along with strangers and not being shy to talk with them in order to be a better
