An Examination of Strengths and Improvements
Focusing on analyzing weaknesses helps to remove obstacles that would block personal gain for reaching the goal of success in life. Many cannot handle the truth or accept personal assessment.

I am trying hard to get to perfection by gaining more knowledge, increasing my talents, and my ability to
