with problems and take advantage of opportunities. Driven by your talents, you may recognize some

Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
By nature, you may be able to accept unpredictable events in your life on the basis of sheer faith.
Perhaps you sense there is a force greater than you at work in the world. Occasionally you can live
with not knowing the exact reason why something good or bad happened to you and not to someone
else. Driven by your talents, you sometimes feel a particular yearning to control your life, and to leave
your mark on the world. To some extent, you know you are somehow linked to every human being on
the planet. This partially explains why you sense whatever you choose to do or not do affects them
just as their choices eventually affect you. You might feel you are walking a tightrope between wanting
to be totally independent and knowing you need others to survive. Because of your strengths, you
may be guided by the notion that no one can live life without some help from others. Perhaps this idea
compels you to consider how what you do and say affects people you know and individuals you will
never meet. It’s very likely that you may assert — that is, declare or affirm — that every person comes
into your life for a purpose. This partially explains why you launch into discussions or engage in small
talk with people you are meeting for the first time. Perhaps you want to figure out why your paths in
life have crossed. Chances are good that you might want people to seek your company or crave your
friendship. Sometimes you sense that you know particular individuals the instant you first meet.
Perhaps you are struck by the existence of this unexplainable yet real bond.

4. topics. By nature, you typically are an eager and willing student. You genuinely derive satisfaction
from examining new sources of information. You often arrive at conclusions about how to make
certain things better. Driven by your talents, you may want to acquire additional knowledge or gain
new skills. Why? Perhaps you are naturally curious. Now and then, you work alone to help yourself
commit information to memory. You might have a solitary place where you can practice a particular
art, craft, sport, or science. Because of your strengths, you enjoy pondering what you can revise,
correct, renovate, upgrade, or relocate. When you are curious about a person, event, topic, project,
activity, or idea, you devote much energy and time to studying it. Instinctively, you prefer to register for
rigorous courses of study rather than take easy classes. This often satisfies your need to do things
that do not come naturally. You trust you can endure the unpleasantness and difficulties that
accompany the expansion of your knowledge base, the acquisition of skills, and the conquest of
deficiencies.
