Hey check this out http://changethis.com/
This article is writing by David Rendall and is all about discovering our uniqueness by flaunting our weakness. In his writings he tells you nine suggestions, which are:
1. What’s your problem?
2. What’s my problem?
3. Flawless: there’s nothing wrong with you
4. Forget It: don’t try to fix your weaknesses
5. Foundation: build on your strengths
6. Focus: You can’t do both
7. Fit: find the right spot
8. Freak: the Power of uniqueness
9. Freak factory: putting your quirks to work
The paper is just his nine suggestions that tell you why to do his suggestions so you can help get ahead in your job. I feel that his suggestions are valid because Rendall does a good job at explaining why he picked those nine suggestions.
Foundation: build on your strengths
I feel that this suggestion by Rendall is very valid because he talks about how the things that we are strong at are things that we love and enjoy going. I would use this
In my creative process in lots of ways because I would find out what I enjoy doing and build all my strengths on it to be really good at it.
Forget It: don’t try to fix your weaknesses
I feel that this suggestion is a little valid but at the same time not valid. I do agree with Rendall’s reasons for not trying to fix your weaknesses but at the same time I feel you need to try to address them in some way. I would use this in my creative process by not worrying about the things I am really bad at if it doesn’t really have a big deal with my job. If it did deal with my job though for a big part I would try to fix it.
Freak: the Power of uniqueness
I really like this suggestion because I feel it might be the most valid out of all of them. I feel that just because some people view unique things as bad I feel that being unique might be the best because you stand out and can have a bigger impact. I would use this in my creative process by seeing being unique as a good thing.
I find that my strengths are my dedication and determination in getting stuff done. I feel my weakness is my lack in skills in a lot of areas that we have been working on like character development.
