Week 6: Discussion Question #1


Every so often, we are asked what our strengths are, and our answers evolve a little each time. That is because we are constantly growing as people, and we are learning a lot more about ourselves. One of my strengths is seeing the bigger picture within a problem and solution. I feel you have to fully look at both the pros and cons on each side and figure out what the best move to make is. The best solution one can come up with will make both parties happy, but it does not happen all the time. Sometimes the solution you come up with will not satisfy everyone, even though it is the best plan. This type of thinking is critical for my career choice because when you work with the environment and its resources, you have to figure out how your actions will affect the environment, ecosystem, and the human population.

  1. I agree that we are constantly growing; there will always be room for improvement and to figure our own strengths. To identify what our strengths are, we also need to know what our weaknesses are. Yes, I also agree that this type of critical thinking is important to choosing a career. You would have to fully understand your own abilities to fully commit to a job. For an example, one may work better in a routine cycle environment, whereas one may work better to take charge as a leader. Everyone is different in this sense; therefore it is essential to understand what one is capable of in order to make the best career decision.
