I tend to sometimes get down on myself for not being good at something. In fact, I find that I’m just ok at a lot of things, but not great at anything. I think my troubles are that I’m interested in a lot of things. It is difficult to focus on just one thing for me.

In fact, just today I overheard my boss telling someone that (…he was probably talking about sales) isn’t one of my strong points. I shouldn’t take it personally, but I do…hearing things like this tend to get me down. I am taking actions to improve my communication skills by becoming involved in a local Toastmasters club, and by giving presentations to customers. I hope I can make this weakness a strength for me.

I think it’s important though, to realize that there will always be times where you encounter things you aren’t going to master. But it’s how we react in these situations that define us as persons, and how well we perform, not only in any given situation, but in life as a whole. It’s also nice to know that it’s never a shame to ask for help.
