Default What are your best strenghts?

In reality it's really hard to point out our greatest strength compare to our weaknesses. By opening this thread I hope to open up ourselves and share it's others ideas to help us find our strengths and find assistance to the areas where we need improvement.

My strength:

1.) I am an optimist
2.) creative
3.) resourceful
4.) enthusiastic towards new things
5.) friendly
6.) persistence

Weaknesses:

1.) Emotional
2.) high temper
3.) lack of focus
4.) poor decision making

I like this topic a lot. I have to say I've spent quite some time figuring out what my strengths and weaknesses really are.

My strengths:
1. My passion towards fitness.
2. Desire to achieve/to be the best.
3. Optimism/enthusiasm.
4. Love of learning.
5. Self-belief.
6. English.
7. My body.
8. Desire to improve something every day.

My weaknesses:
1. Temper in arguments.
2. My ankles.
3. Anxiety in social situations.
4. Sometimes care too much about others opinion (I do things my way regardless but the feeling that I care makes me anxious).
5. Feel awkward when I'm quiet.
6. Hard to concentrate on one thing for a long time/impatience.

Would be interesting to know how people overcome their weaknesses- either by working round them or by curing them.

For me, my greatest weakness is my laziness. TBH, I'm not really dealing with it all that well, but I do tend to act quickly when I feel motivated.
