I'm currently stumped as to what tools I have in my toolbox. As you mentioned above, it is important to know what you want to do with your tools, however I am at the stage where I cannot identify how to put these these tools to use. I am especially struggling with how to use my crimping tool, it did not come with instructions.<br /><br />I would very much appreciate your guidance in assisting me to reach my full potential with the tools in my kit.<br /><br />I believe only you hold the power to guide me along this journey of self exploration.<br /><br />I await your response,<br /><br />Yours sincerely<br />Bella Chalmers (Australia)<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3646573548469607079.post-48102234475465874212012-10-29T14:33:41.363+05:302012-10-29T14:33:41.363+05:30You are right karthik.

There are factors like peer pressure and fear which pushes us to do what we are not passionate about. <br />Karthik Sankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00995549408334380645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3646573548469607079.post-5991825463978450122010-11-17T10:10:51.348+05:302010-11-17T10:10:51.348+05:30Thank Naveen, You are great mentor and motivatorThank Naveen, You are great mentor and motivatorUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736132257710039371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3646573548469607079.post-47688663733164481542010-10-28T13:51:45.271+05:302010-10-28T13:51:45.271+05:30Good Article...

Will definitely provide my comments on it after I read it.<br /><br />You are absolutely correct in correlating weakness/dislikings to being in one comfort zone or the other. That's why it is extremely important to focus on these two quadrants. Many a times, when a person is foced to work on the areas-he-needs-improvement-on (of course providing him enough coaching, mentorship, guidance, direction, training, and tools & equipments to be successful), he not only improves in those areas (i.e., converts his weaknesses into his strenghts), but also becomes able to convert few of his dislikes into likings. I was actually planning to cover this topic in more detail in my next blog - "A Stitch in Time Saves Nine”…Naveen Goelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160129315186963429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3646573548469607079.post-44153491541271579442010-08-26T05:08:35.212+05:302010-08-26T05:08:35.212+05:30Excellent post, Naveen!

Glad to see you are putting some of your thoughts and philosophies on paper (or online). <br /><br />Some comments, questions, and suggestions:<br /><br />* Strengths vs. weaknesses - how does your philosophy compare/contrast with 'Now, Discover Your Strengths', which seems to be endorsed by Adobe management?<br /><br />* I actually have some mixed feelings about the above book. Yes, it makes sense to leverage your strengths and in some cases not waste time on shoring up weaknesses. But, there are times when weaknesses can become a strength if worked on.<br /><br />* Similarly, sometimes weaknesses and things we dislike are that way because it takes us out of our comfort zone. People don't like being uncomfortable, yet true growth comes from getting out of our comfort zone and stretch. How would you recommend people identify these opportunities?<br /><br />* Suggestion1: adding images and graphics can help reinforce some of your points and topics<br /><br />* Suggestion 2: this first post was a biggie and you covered at least three different topics (1) you take control/responsibility, (2) SWLD, (3) my timeline. Each of these could be it's own blog post. It might be easier for the reader to digest as well.
