Say something random about you (Part 3)

i'm having a hard time with my greatest strength, but my weakness, i think, is self doubt.

Hum--- Weakness is my strong suite.





Worse----I procrastinate. (Or will, when I get around to it. )

why put off til tomorrow what you can put off til the day after tomorrow???

I'm lazy.

jumping to conclusions

you *should* be full of pride, nay, altho i have no idea what you are talking about!!!

I find it interesting that no one wanted to talk about their strengths but already 4 people have shared what their weaknesses are.
Are women naturally predisposed to talk about their "negative" points and not their "positive" ones? I bet if you asked 10 women to tell you what they liked about themselves, they would hesitate and maybe even be slightly embarrassed to talk highly of themselves. Now ask those same ten women to tell you what they don't like about themselves and you probably would not be able to stop them! I'm reading a book called Women,God and Food and she makes the same point. More on a physical level though with body image. It's changed my perspective on how I see myself and talk about myself to others.

sounds like an interesting book!!

i think sometimes others see our strengths much easier than we do ourselves.

I just never got around to posting what I Think is my strength before the topic changed.

As I have seen with such shows like Plain Jane, RuPaul's Drag U, and other make over shows, I do think there is a great need for self confidence.

K, I heard about that book, from all places, Oprah, and it's on my list to read. It sounded very interesting.

I think women and men do need a lot of greater self confidence.

As for my strength, I don't beat around the bush. You want the truth, you'll hear it from me. Even if it hurts.

Personally, I don't think there are A LOT of things wrong with me, but I do see areas of needed improvement, because I see myself not getting to where I want to be. I don't think there's a problem with wanting to improve yourself. I do think if you feel like you can't do something because your hair's not right, you don't wear the right clothing, you're underweight or overweight, then you really need to find something that will pick you up.

I think this forum is a great place where we share a lot and make each other feel better, boost each other and sympathize with each other. It's much needed these days.

I don't usually like to sound like I'm a narcissistic egotistic smartass snob, so I don't say much about what I like about myself. I will when the occasion warrants it.

I'm debating whether or not I need LEGO Universe.

i think that might be the problem with lots of us, julie. we've been taught not to sound arrogant or self absorbed, so we can't even speak of our good points without feeling guilty!

Nay asked about greatest strength and greatest weakness. I know my greatest weakness. I don't know which of my strengths is my greatest.

I don't think it's a simple as strength or weakness, or even just the way others perceive you. Let's face it, today's strength may be tomorrow's weakness.

Real strengths are what you pull up inside yourself when it's needed, either for yourself or others (wither other people admire it or not) Weakness is sometimes what makes you human. I have both in great supply, but sometimes I do wonder which is which.





Julie-----Of course you need Lego Universe.

I'm debating LEGO Universe because it's a time sink, like Warcraft. Universe is coming out less than a month before the next Warcraft expansion, and I don't know if I have the time to keep current with Warcraft if I start Universe. I'm not willing to give up Warcraft just yet.

Ah, Now I understand. Logic says: Go with Warcraft for now, and save Universe for later (when you feel like a change). Of course logic don't know sh** about game playing, and neither do I.

Julie, my daughter, husband and kiddies went to Legoland the other day and they had a blast. Their pictures were amazing!

I have never been to LEGOland. One of these day I will venture forth. I may never come back. Probably put in LEGO jail for trying to smuggle out all the LEGO structures.

My favorite big LEGO right now is the carousel. It runs on batteries and the horses go up and down. My favorite little LEGO are the army men from Toy Story. They are all green LEGO people.

Cool. My kids and now grandchildren are really into Lego. I'm only somewhat good at Duplo blocks. It's amazing what they create. I bet you are amazing at building too. Silly thing to say...of course you are! A battery operated Carousel, eh?

I love carousels. I made one out of paper once. It was a punch-out and assemble book with beautiful prints that have perforated edges. That one is in a box somewhere. When LEGO came out with the carousel kit, I grabbed it.
