This is because i respond to things so emotionally that I know i have to step back and give myself time to make a decision. For me it's almost impossible to make even simple decisions spontaneously because i have such overwhelming feelings about most things that I feel confused by them and unable to act!! For example I think my greatest weakness is that i get very angry, upset or stressed about things in everyday life. So then I have to go off and try to figure out what i really want/need. It takes me some time until I know exactly what's right for me and then I do it and usually it's the right thing. So I'm trying to t figure out what my strength is... and i think that I'm very good at listening to people and responding to their dilemmas because i can really put myself in their shoes. There, I'd never before thought that my indecision had a good side to it! It was interesting to read your post Rob because i’m the exact oppposite of you but also find it hard to make decisions.

This strength probably comes from my weakness "things that do not enhance my happiness are not important and I can do a sloppy or incomplete job".. I am being a bit hard on myself here, but the basic essense is correct.. There are situations/problems at work place which need to be tackled..I am happy with a workable solution and I do not look for the perfect solution..I am happy to keep things going and delegating the tasks.. The weakness here is that I do not care as much about it as I care about my happiness and the cause for is "i care about my happiness". My other strength is the ability to ignore details and getting to the essense of the issue at hand..I most often stay at the big picture level and is intuitive. This strength I think comes from my weakness of having a very smal working memory..When I am in a conversation, I just cannot remember the specifics of the conversation that went on only a few seconds back..Either I have to keep notes (which I am notvery fond of) and just go with my intuition and get to the essense and I find this serves me well on most occasions.. That was a very insightful post Rob :) )
