Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT)

In my life, I have an ultimate goal to myself, which is to become an engineer in the future. One of the main reason is the interest in Physics and Chemistry and I have the tendency to know more about these subjects. I really enjoying the process of learning these subjects as these are my favourite !

In terms of discipline specific knowledge, I have the enthusiasm to learn more knowledges and skills in my life and I think this can be one of my strengths in my life. However, we must know what to learn and what not to learn in our life. We cannot simply follow others on some unhealthy activities such as smoking or clubbing. If not, this will just become our weakness in our life. In life, we may encounter a certain audition that requires a degree or a master holder. If we are not educated, this is going to become our threat but if we are prepared and study well, this might be an opportunity for us to get promoted or to get a high salary job.

In terms of lifelong learning, we have to always have the interest in learning in anytime and anywhere. This can become our strength as we are always learning and it can help us to gain more knowledge in order to apply into our life. Besides, if we simply learn without quality, it will be just wasting our time and we must also learn things that we are interested in. If we are not concern about the process of learning or enjoy it, it will just become one of our weakness. If we do encounter a situation which requires us to apply our learnt knowledge, it will become a threat for us if we do not know how to apply it to our life. Instead, if we know how to apply our learnt knowledge into our life, it will just make our life easier and this may be a precious opportunity for us to apply our knowledge in it.

In terms of communication skills and interpersonal skills, we have to know how to present and convey our ideas clearly to others and socialize wit people. These skills are very vital as most of the times, we have to cooperate and work with each other in order for us to achieve our goal. This may become our strength when we have master on how to communicate and socialize with people. In other case, sometimes, we may be talking too much until an extend where it annoys people. For this case, this is going to be our weakness if we do not manage it well. When we need to do some presentation, someone may treat this as a threat as they do not manage to communicate effectively with the audience. If we do master it, it will become our opportunity and we might do well in our presentation.

These are all the strengths and weaknesses I might had and we can turn all our threats in our life into opportunities in order for me to achieve my dream career one day.
